The Los Angeles Lakers hope to be in the running to sign free agent Will Barton who has been bought out of his deal with the Washington Wizards.
The Lakers are still in dire need of roster improvements after the trade deadline, when they were able to acquire a number of players who have seemingly already put the team in a better situation.
After dealing away Russell Westbrook, who has declined in recent years, the team has added D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Mo Bamba, Jarred Vanderbilt and Rui Hachimura who all look to be upgrades at each position.
