Kevin Durant being a former client of Rob Pelinka might not help the Lakers land him in free agency

Now that free agency is over, the Los Angeles Lakers have bought out Luol Deng and the team’s roster is mostly set with only one star (LeBron James) on it for the next year — barring a trade — it makes sense that some are looking forward to next summer and a free agency class that will likely include names like Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant. Especially now that Deng’s buyout gives the Lakers nearly the exact amount they need to offer the max to a player of Durant’s experience level.
