Lakers rumors have dominated the headlines in recent weeks. As a result of not qualifying for the NBA Playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers offseason began a little earlier than they had anticipated. Lakers rumors picked up quickly as a by-product.
Most Lakers rumors have involved the 2019 NBA Draft. Los Angeles got lucky during the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery, moving up from the No. 11 spot to the No. 4 spot in the draft. That made potential trade packages stronger and will give them an opportunity to select a higher-ranking prospect if they hold onto the selection.
There have also been plenty of free agency rumors involving the Lakers, who will look to make a big splash this summer.
