Really, truly, DeMar DeRozan loves talking about the Lakers.
For a player that has never played for the franchise, DeRozan has spoken more about the Lakers than just about anyone else in the NBA not already donning the purple and gold. Most of those discussions center on just how badly he wants to play for the franchise, but, obviously, that has never amounted to anything.
The latest chapter of him discussing what could was an interview with Taylor Rooks of Bleacher Report, in which DeRozan responded to reports that he was willing to take a pay cut to join the Lakers:
Rooks: For the sake of the report, were you going to take a substantial pay cut to be able to play for the Lakers?
