The Lakers may not be going star-hunting this offseason, but they’ve been connected to a number of intriguing and immediate-impact free agents already. A name floated previously was Nuggets guard Bruce Brown and it was received well by the fanbase for the most part.
However, it appears that the Lakers have two paths to go, one of which could feature potentially signing Brown or Bucks center Brook Lopez with the non-tax midlevel exception.
But there’s also an alternate path that only adds to the situation facing Los Angeles. As ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported, the Lakers could use that midlevel exception on Brown or Lopez but also could split it up and bring back a fan-favorite and veteran sharpshooter in the process.
