3 notable free agents Los Angeles Lakers could actually sign in 2017

Amidst all the talk of what the Los Angeles Lakers could do during 2017 NBA free agency, it seems right to take a look at big names they may actually sign.

It’s anyone’s guess what the future will look like for the Los Angeles Lakers. Following a midseason overhaul of the front office, the only thing that’s certain is this franchise is headed in a new direction. Just where Magic Johnson decides to take things, though, is a mystery.

That’s why there’s been so much speculation about the team’s plan for 2017 NBA free agency. We already have a good idea of how things could play out during the 2017 NBA Draft, but the lottery could make any current plans irrelevant. Hence, the focus is on free agency at this moment.

So who could the Lakers look to add this offseason? Your guess is probably as good as mine, but that’s against the point. What I’m trying to say is that Los Angeles could go in just about any direction, even with limited cap space.

Will they play the waiting game, opting to save while adding a bargain free agent or two? Will they find the space to sign a star? The latter is a serious possibility, and there are a few realistic candidates for the Lakers to go after.
