Lakers are linked with several names, and here are top rumors of January 17, with Kawhi Leonard and Kyrie Irwing being on the headlines. 1.As Per Chris Baynes (Yahoo Sports), Lakers consider the option of signing Kemba Walker and Jimmy Butler. "Charlotte guard Kemba Walker and Philadelphia forward Jimmy Butler are top priorities, sources said." Baynes wrote. 2."If it were to go through before July 6, the Lakers wouldn't be able to create the $32.7 million necessary to sign Walker or another max free agent, such as Kawhi Leonard, who league sources say the Lakers will pursue." Kevin O'Connor wrote on The Ringer. Despite the incredible season and the MVP of the finals award, Kawhi is a free agent and he is surely considered by Lakers. 3."Just days before the Davis deal was done, a source close to James indicated some optimism that—Nets noise be darned—Irving was still in play for the Lakers." Sam Amick of The Athletics. This could be the dream deal for LeBron, who played with Kyrie and won 2016 NBA finals, after making the historical comeback, when Cavs were 1-3 down after 4 games.View this post on InstagramAD on da way!! @antdavis23 🤣.
