Los Angeles Lakers’ offseason target: Josh Richardson

Josh Richardson is a wing that could emerge as a target for the Lakers, but likely one that would be a bit more costly. And considering that Richardson has a player option for next season, there’s no guarantee that he’s going to be a free agent anyway.

Nevertheless, if Richardson does hit the open market he’s absolutely a player that the Lakers should be interested in adding. Richardson is a two-way rotation piece that doesn’t need the ball in his hands to be all that effective.

It would be interesting to see how Richardson continues to grow as a player and he could very well use a fresh start after stints with two franchises that clearly didn’t believe in him as perhaps they should’ve.
