The Los Angeles Lakers are once again connected to Philadelphia 76ers rising star, Ben Simmons. Thankfully, this time, it cannot be considered a case of tampering.
Earlier this season the Lakers were embroiled in another potential tampering case when it was revealed that Simmons wanted to workout with and talk to Lakers president of basketball operations, Magic Johnson.
The Lakers avoided another tampering charge and fine after 76ers general manager, Elton Brand, helped clear the air. This time, it is Lakers all-time great, Kobe Bryant, offering up some advice to Simmons.
