This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but Spurs free agent to-be DeMar DeRozan is interested in joining his hometown Los Angeles Lakers this offseason, even at a possible discount, according to Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times.
DeRozan, who starred at Compton High and USC, has interest in returning home to play for the Lakers, even if it is for less than the $27.7 million he earned last season in San Antonio, according to people not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
It would seem the interest is mutual, as it has already been reported that the Lakers are interested in him.
