Despite the improvement the Los Angeles Lakers have shown this season, they’ve been unable to escape the shadow that’s been cast by the prospect of which 2018 NBA free agents they’ll pursue. At the forefront of those conversations are LeBron James and Paul George.

“I did hear that,” answered Lakers head coach Luke Walton when asked at Wednesday’s shootaround if he was aware of the billboards.
