Los Angeles Lakers
If the Los Angeles Lakers become linked to Victor Oladipo in the offseason, it would not be the first time there’s been interest. When the Indiana Pacers were trying to move him, he was thought, but Los Angeles backed out.
At this point, the Lakers front office should be interested in whatever they can find while LeBron James is still playing in Los Angeles. It was a disastrous season that ended with one of the most anticipated teams missing out on the postseason.
The Russell Westbrook experiment looks like a failure, while Anthony Davis has struggled to stay on the floor. It was a worst-case scenario through and through for the Los Angeles Lakers. Now, they need to focus on adding low-cost options with potential.
LeBron James is one of the league’s leading scorers this season, but that has not translated to team success. Given the depleted depth the Lakers have after the Russell Westbrook trade, there’s plenty of room for a player like Oladipo to step in and be a contributor.

Victor Oladipo will have to prove that he can stay healthy, but he would be another big-name player with an upside the Los Angeles Lakers could benefit from adding. This time, he isn’t well over 30-years-old.
