There were plenty of Los Angeles Lakers rumors heading into the NBA Trade Deadline last week. Anyone who thought that those Lakers rumors would slow down would be mistaken. If anything they are even louder now.
The Lakers didn’t make a trade prior to the deadline. Instead, they were expected to be active on the buyout market. Thus far, it has been a lot of smoke without much substance.
The player the Lakers were connected to the most was Darren Collison, who was retired. The team even hosted him at a game last week, putting the fullcourt press on him.
