Nick Young ‘Ready’ To Replace Avery Bradley On Lakers Roster

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has decided to opt-out of returning to finish out the season in the Orlando bubble due to concerns over his son health.

As such, rumors have quickly begun to swirl about potential replacements for Bradley as the Lakers are permitted to sign someone since he has made that decision. The first name to pop up as a likely replacement is veteran guard JR Smith, whom the Lakers previously worked out when considering players to add during the season.

Smith has reportedly been working out with some Lakers players during the hiatus and is obviously familiar with superstar LeBron James.
