As we get closer to the NBA Playoffs, recent Lakers rumors have been about whether or not the team will be looking to add new players.
Recently, the Lakers added Markieff Morris after he was bought out by the Detroit Pistons. In order to make room for Morris, the Lakers elected to waive DeMarcus Cousins.
This move made sense, as Cousins’ return to the basketball court was expected to be until in the playoffs at some time. However, a rusty Cousins trying to get back into basketball shape wouldn’t have helped the Lakers come playoff time.
