The 2017-18 version of the Los Angeles Lakers, front office included, are fishermen as much as they are a basketball team. The hope is that their young talent and mountain of cap space will become the bait to lure up to two of the NBA’s marquee free agents this summer.
Reeling one in, however, is easier said than done. I remember one particular fishing trip with my dad vividly. I was probably 10, maybe 11, and my dad wanted to make some memories before I hit those obnoxious teenage years.
We had tackle boxes, bait, fishing rods, the works.
