The Los Angeles Lakers are in desperate need of a rebuild. Despite having stars like LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis, the team failed to qualify for the postseason. After the sacking of the previous coach, the fans expect a new signing to improve the squad.

There have been various names linked to the Lakers. One of the biggest names is Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls who enters free agency in the offseason. Moreover, an Atlanta Hawks star is being discussed among the fanbase and potentially the front office.

The Hawks are looking to add a lottery pick and are ready to sacrifice a player for that. The name popping up is John Collins. He is an essential part of Trae Young’s team and they are looking to move him in search of a different player and a potential lottery pick for the future.

There is no denying that the Los Angeles Lakers had a shocker of a season. After landing Russell Westbrook from the Washington Wizards, the team was expected to do big things. However, they failed to make it into the playoffs.

Although LeBron James was fantastic individually, he could not carry his team into the playoffs. LeBron averaged 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists for the 2021-22 season. Some great stats for a 37-year-old!

Big mistake moving Collins. They need to shop some of the other salary guys. Gallinari, Wright is getting 10 million. Capella can be moved and have Collins play C. They have big O as well. Collins is efficient. That is key for them.
