Naturally, the team will be looking to rebuild. One of the biggest names linked to the Lakers is Zach LaVine. The Chicago Bulls star has been linked to the Lakers ever since the Bulls got knocked out of the NBA playoffs.

The latest news linked to the Lakers and LeBron James confuses fans
There is no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers disappointed most of their fans this season. After acquiring Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards, a lot was expected from the team.
Injuries to stars and bad mistakes ensured that the Lakers suffered from the start of the season. Although LeBron James had one of his best seasons in terms of scoring, it was not enough to save the Lakers. LeBron averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists this season.
While the team looks to rebuild, the LaVine rumors just keep on increasing. The Chicago Bulls star is looking to relocate as per multiple reports, with the Lakers being one of the rumored destinations.
