After axing Byron Scott for Luke Walton, it looks like the Los Angeles Lakers are finally back on track for success — now they just need some players who would be cool playing with D’Angelo Russell.
Lakers great Magic Johnson, the most excited man on Twitter, has a few ideas to turn it all around.
First, he started looking up north where an overrated wingman by the name of Demar DeRozan plays:
Laker Nation: DeMar DeRozan should be one of the free agents we go after this summer.

We could see this happening — DeMar’s looking to get paid and it would be a homecoming for the guy.
OR! They could just try and get Kevin Durant:
Laker Nation: The first free agent the Lakers should go after is Kevin Durant.

Sky-high aspirations on that one, but we guess it’s not out of the question.
Laker Nation: I would love to see Kevin Durant in the Purple & Gold!

… At least compared to this pipe dream:
Laker Nation: The Lakers should call LeBron James agent. We know he's going stay in CLE but they should go after him just in case he leaves.
