Damian Lillard is sitting in free agency after the Bucks waived the superstar point guard following his torn Achilles. It's unlikely he'll play much or at all in 2025-26, but he'd be back down the road. SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell thinks the Lakers and Lillard are a match.

The Lakers are reportedly one of multiple teams that are interested in signing veteran nine-time All-Star guard Damian Lillard.

The Los Angeles Lakers have solved their biggest roster issue heading into next season by adding Deandre Ayton into the fold. Ayton is now going to be their starting center after signing with LA. Ayton was bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers after two disappointing seasons.
