The Los Angeles Lakers will attempt to retool this offseason, unlike last summer. This offseason will be critical for all those involved and those who wish to participate. Rumours have been going around about what the Lakers should or can do. Though for the time being it’s only chatter, L.A. will ultimately need to make changes to this roster.

It is likely that the purple and gold will make an effort to sign a reliable role player or a third star to go along with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Uncertainty surrounds that, but an Eastern Conference executive believes it should be for rival knockout shooter Michael Porter Jr.
The Eastern Conference executive notified Heavy Sports.
“That is who they would go after if they wanted to get better,” a general manager of the Eastern Conference said. “If he is not a size mismatch, they would be much better off if he could be a 3-4 like LeBron.” They require a gunner who isn’t scared to fire. To become a contender again, they must first have a knockdown shooter who creates space.
Porter Jr. can handle most of the Lakers’ problems. The team did not have enough three-pointers attempted or made, even though their percentage of three-pointers made was excellent. With an average of 31.0 attempts per game and 11.7 made threes per game, the Lakers finished 24th in the league—worst in the league.
Porter Jr. is a brave and self-assured athlete with a 41% career three-point shooting percentage. Even though the Lakers need someone with his kind of player and he fits in with them, it’s unlikely that he’ll wind up in Los Angeles. As a result, the Lakers may lose three important players, and it is improbable that the Nuggets would give up their prior first-round pick to a rival team.
“My Mom Caught Me” was Michael Porter Jr.’s first-ever confession of watching porn. – Fadeaway WorldShooting is crucial in the NBA, especially with the current style of play. While it’s true that sharpshooting is not a given, it seems unreasonable to give away so many key players for a 25-year-old? Nevertheless, if Porter Jr. becomes available at a reasonable cost, L.A. should consider pursuing him.
