The Los Angeles Lakers are going to be a popular destination for midseason buyouts.

The Los Angeles Lakers are the defending NBA Champions and are still the favorites to win the title in 2021. Because of that, mixed with getting to play with LeBron James and the bright lights of LA, the Lakers are naturally going to be a favored destination for any players who are bought out this season.
