With most believing the Los Angeles Lakers are long-shots at best to land Kevin Durant in free agency, many have turned towards Toronto Raptors wing DeMar DeRozan as the Lakers’ best chance at bringing in a star this off-season.
A Compton native, DeRozan will opt-out of his contract this summer, making him an unrestricted free agent, and there have been rumors, some even started by people close to DeRozan, that the two-time All-Star is looking to come home to Los Angeles.
DeRozan’s season ended on Friday night as the Raptors fell in the Eastern Conference Finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
