Bazemore played for the Lakers back in 2013 with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, and Steve Nash. Los Angeles was unable to retain Bazemore’s services so he went on to play for Atlanta.
After DeMarre Carroll left Atlanta to join the Toronto Raptors, Bazemore had to step up and fill the void. He thrived and earned himself so big money.
Mike D’Antoni and the Houston Rockets were interested in Bazemore. They brought in Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler but were unable to get the job done.
