The Lakers figure to be active in the buyout market this season, with players like Goran Dragic and Dennis Schröder on their wish list.
Like all other contending teams in the league, the Lakers have become more than familiar with the buyout market in recent seasons, for better or for worse. The likes of Markieff Morris, Ben McLemore and Andre Drummond have all joined the Lakers midseason, and had varying levels of impact.
In best-case scenarios, the Lakers have landed a player that can contribute to the playoff run and help them capture a title, as Morris did.
