Whats Next For The LA Lakers?

WHAT'S NEXT for the LALAKERS? FREE AGENTS AND TRADES The Lakers might not be able to lock up a huge free agent like Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James over the summer and could very well be looking to the 2015 off-season to sign a big-name player. But with a number of consistent players that could be on the market, Los Angeles might come away with a few that will help in the future. НЕДТ! Pau Gasol is clearly on the outs with Los Angeles after several trade rumors swirled around him and he's made his unhappiness clear with the recent play of the team, according to Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times. TAKORS Carmelo Anthony, Knicks: New York is said to be Anthony's top priority, with the Los Angeles Lakers supposedly in the running. Although, according to one GM, it's hard to know if the Lakers are a real possibility or just wishful thinking on fan message boards. EWYSR Chris Bosh, Heat: It seems most GMs feel Bosh (and not Anthony) is the second biggest potential prize on the upcoming market. But if James goes back to the Heat, Bosh will, too. If not, the Lakers are НЕЛТ secretly interested, sources said. NBA DRAFT & LOTTERY PICK Once the 2013-14 NBA season comes to an end, GM Mitch Kupchak and Jim Buss will direct their attention to the 2014 NBA Draft. The Los Angeles Lakers will have a lottery pick for the first time since 2005 and there's no better time be drafting in the top 10 with all the talent potentially available. With the Lakers possibly havinga pick in the top five, quite a few promising players are in the conversation in tems of coming to Los Angeles. One of those players is Duke's Jabari Parker and current DUKE NBATV analyst Grant Hill believes he'd be a perfect fit for the Lakers via Mark Medina of the LA. Daily News Along with Parker, there will be plenty of potential perennial All-Stars available Dante Exum Andrew Wiggins Marcus Smart Joel Embiid Julius Randle Although many of these potential draft prospects have a high upside, Parker does appear to be the most NBA-ready. Wiggins received a lot of LeBron James-like hype during his high school days and could prove to be a superb NBA talent someday, but hasn't the made the impression that Parker has in one season on the collegiate level.
