The Los Angeles Lakers are in the middle of a massive rebuild around young, talented players like Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, and Kyle Kuzma. They will have more salary cap space available than any team and have their sights set on signing the likes of LeBron James and Paul George.
However, at this stage it’s unclear whether or not the Lakers will actually be able to land any big names. They have chased stars for the past few seasons only to strike out each time, so why might George in particular decide to buck that trend and join the Lakers?
