#2: D’Angelo Russell trade rumors

Marc Stein’s report sparked these Lakers trade rumors - here’s what he had to say:
- D'Angelo Russell wound up on the bench at crunch time in the Timberwolves' season-ending Game 6 defeat at home to Memphis and averaged just 12.0 points per game on 33.3% shooting in his second career playoff series. Numerous rival teams expect the Wolves to try to trade Russell this offseason irrespective of Russell’s close relationship with Minnesota star Karl-Anthony Towns.

Level of interest in a reunion with D’Angelo Russell? Scale of 1-10

#3: Lakers free agency - sign Victor Oladipo?

Kenneth Teape of NBA Analysis Network pitched the idea:
- Landing a multi-year deal, especially with how the last few seasons have gone for him, is likely his goal. But, if he wants to maximize earnings, he could sign a one-year prove-it deal and re-enter free agency in the summer of 2023 when there will be more cap space to spend. A one-year prove-it deal is something that could work for the Lakers and Oladipo. They would be able to provide him with rotation minutes right from the start, as he could be the starting shooting guard depending on how things shake out for the purple and gold this offseason.
