Zach LaVine to the Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are another team that will be looking to make additions this offseason. They can’t enter next season without adding a player – and probably need to add a difference-maker.

One player that has already been linked to the Lakers is Zach LaVine. Even though it would probably be extremely hard to find a way to make it work, he’s a player that would help take a lot of the pressure off of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

LaVine is young, athletic, and in the middle of his prime. If the Lakers are able to offload Russell Westbrook and acquire LaVine (somehow), it’d be a huge win all around and would catapult Los Angeles to the top of the West.
