In the wake of DeMarcus Cousins tearing his ACL, recent Lakers rumors have been about what the next step for the Lakers will be before the start of the season.
Since Cousins was expected to play some major minutes for the Lakers this season, the loss will certainly be noticed. As a potential 20-30 minute a night player, the Lakers are going to have to make some serious adjustments.
The one sure thing for the Lakers now is that JaVale McGee will be the starting center next season. Many expected this to be the case anyway, but the injury to Cousins essentially made that a lock.
