The Los Angeles Lakers will be a team that many will focus on during NBA free agency this week.
Obviously, the future of LeBron James will be the primary headline. James and the Lakers have basically had no discussions on a contract extension, and all signs point to the future Hall of Famer declining his player option and entering free agency.
Additionally, the Golden State Warriorsare preparing to pursue James and former Laker Anthony Davis, who is with the Washington Wizards but could be available for trade. These talks began on Monday after Draymond Green declined his $27 million player option, creating the flexibility for Golden State to make these moves, though Green will likely return to the Bay Area on a smaller deal as well.
As the days go on, it looks more possible that James will actually depart Los Angeles, which would open up room for the Lakers to bolster the roster at other positions.
