Lakers linked to Mo Bamba, Nicolas Batum and tons of other players on eve of NBA free agency

NBA free agency officially begins on Thursday on Thursday at 3 p.m. PT, but the Lakers rumors are already flying in the hours leading up to the league’s legal opening bell. Khobi Price of The Orlando Sentinel reported earlier in the day that Los Angeles — in addition to the Toronto Raptors, New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves — were expected to show interest in Mo Bamba after the Orlando Magic didn’t tender him a qualifying offer and allowed him to become an unrestricted free agent, and he’s not the only one linking the Lakers to the four-year veteran big man.
