How realistic would acquiring Zach LaVine be for the Los Angeles Lakers? 

As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to be one of the most frantic teams looking to make a deal during the offseason, there is one free agent that has already been linked to the legendary franchise. And that’s Zach LaVine.

LaVine is said to be willing to take an open-minded approach heading into free agency. If so, there will be suitors. Even a team such as the Lakers, without cap space, will explore the possibility.
