The Los Angeles Lakers jumped into action in the early stages of free agency when they signed Timofey Mozgov and Luol Deng to upgrade the team.
However, little buzz has surrounded the Lakers since the first couple of days. This once-glorious team has had to sit on the sidelines and watch superstars sign elsewhere. The big free agents have barely given the Lakers any thought and have not considered them in any serious manner.

At this point, the biggest news may be that the Lakers are most likely going to enter the 2016-17 season without point guard Nick Young.
Better known for his nickname of Swaggy P and his relationship with Iggy Azalea, Young is scheduled to earn $11 million over the next two seasons.
