According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, the Los Angeles Lakers are expected to have an interest in signing former Lakers guard Lonzo Ball this summer, via USA Today:
“Word is that the Lakers, on top of their well-chronicled need for more shooting, covet one more difference-making playmaker who would allow James and Davis to spend more time at power forward and center.
Expect to eventually hear of them searching for potential pathways, however, obstacle-strewn they would be, to reacquiring restricted free agent-to-be Lonzo Ball for that reason.”
In 55 games this past season, Ball, 23, averaged 14.6 points (career-high), 4.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game in 31.8 minutes of action for the New Orleans Pelicans.
