Lately, one rumor that has circulated about the Los Angeles Lakers is that if they strike out on Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving, they will look to acquire either Buddy Hield or Eric Gordon as a backup plan.
Their negotiations with Brooklyn regarding Irving have seemingly gone nowhere after heating up in the opening days of July.
But according to Lakers beat writer Dave McMenamin, the team has something bigger in mind than getting Hield or Gordon merely as a consolation prize of sorts.
