A report from the Los Angeles Times now suggests that Collison had a talk with Lakers star Anthony Davis. They reported that the discussion was about Collison’s plans and how he would fit in golden and purple. If Collison does decide to come back to NBA, Davis might have a role to play.

Collison could make a decent addition to the Lakers roster, adding to their depth. The Lakers have one of the strongest rosters in the NBA. However, they do have some frailties. Sometimes, they seem overly dependant on their star duo of Anthony Davis and LeBron James. Many expected them to make at least a signing before the trade deadline but it wasn’t the case.
Their options to sign a player now is limited to free agents given they do it before the playoffs. If the Lakers do look at Collison as a useful option, they will have to waive one of their players in order to make space for the former Indiana Pacers man.
