Looks like the Lakers are not over the Hill. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.
But, according to Mark Medina, the Lakers have reached out to the big man they whose team option they just declined.

It’s obviously all about price, here. Jordan Hill’s $9M was not something the Lakers could afford with targets like LaMarcus Aldridge and DeAndre Jordan to think about, but, if they cannot come to terms with those guys, Hill very well could make a return to the Lakers at better value.
