The Los Angeles Lakers have been hard at work assembling a roster that features both young players and talented veterans, and they reportedly almost landed another one: Dwyane Wade. The veteran guard became a free agent earlier this summer when he secured a buyout with the Chicago Bulls, who decided to focus on rebuilding around young players after they traded away star wing Jimmy Butler.
Wade had a number of suitors, including the suddenly loaded Oklahoma City Thunder, but ultimately decided to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers so he could chase another championship with longtime friend LeBron James.
