Free agency has mostly dried up, but there are still players worth an eyeball or two. De'Anthony Melton is a dynamic defender when healthy. Gary Payton II is an on-ball pest with championship experience. Amir Coffey isn't a lockdown defender, but he offers versatility and usually knows where to be.

One name that has come up in trade rumors lately for the Los Angeles Lakers is Andrew Wiggins. The veteran two-way forward for the Miami Heat is someone whom the Lakers have tried to acquire in a trade, but to no avail, at least so far.

NBA free agency is underway, and after a week, some notable names remain unsigned. That includes Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey, who are both restricted free agents this summer.

Jaxson Hayes reportedly waived his de facto no-trade clause in order to re-sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.

Despite the rampant rumors that he could be traded this offseason, Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo seems to expect that he will be staying put.

The Boston Celtics are listening to trade offers for recent acquisition Anfernee Simons, who was part of the Jrue Holiday trade to the Portland Trail Blazers last month in a cost-cutting move. Simons averaged 19.3 points and 4.8 assists last season and is on an expiring deal worth $27.7 million.

It seems like the LA Lakers are done with free agency after general manager Rob Pelinka signed Deandre Ayton, Jake LaRavia and brought back Jaxson Hayes.

The Los Angeles Lakers could move on from a four-time NBA champion via a blockbuster trade to the New York Knicks.
