The Los Angeles Lakers could add a former Oklahoma City Thunder star guard this offseason in hopes he'll act as a perfect complement to LeBron James and Luka Doncic.

Returning from the All-Star break, the Oklahoma City Thunder are 46-10 through seventeen weeks of action. The Thunder currently hold a 9.5-game lead over the Memphis Grizzlies and Denver Nuggets, for the top spot in the West.
