Los Angeles Lakers: Latest free agency rumors you need to know about

With 2018 NBA free agency only weeks away, the latest Los Angeles Lakers rumors could have fans worried about the viability of Magic Johnson’s master plan.

Is LeBron James set to join the Los Angeles Lakers? What about Paul George? Or will the entire 2018 NBA free agency period be a complete bust for the team with the most cap space to spend? The latest Lakers rumors paint an unpleasant picture of what the future could hold.

Unfortunately, we won’t know what’s actually to come anytime soon. Free agency doesn’t begin until July 1, meaning we’ve got more than three weeks before the real fun (or sorrow) starts. You could say the 2018 NBA Draft will keep us entertained, but the main attraction awaits at the start of next month.

For now, all we can do is listen to what the rumor mill is churning out. And boy, at this part of the offseason, it’s nearly deafening. It’s been like the week leading up to the 2018 trade deadline…

Every day it seems, there’s a new Lakers rumor driving fans wild. One day there’s whispers of LeBron already all-in on coming to Los Angeles, then his interest is waning the next. It’s like an out-of-control carousel that keeps spinning faster and faster with every revolution. It’s too late to get off now, so all you can do is hold on for dear life.
