It seems as if the Lakers are involved in every single rumor today. Yesterday the Lakers were in on a potential blockbuster that would land DeMarcus Cousins in Los Angeles.

Earlier today reports surfaced that LaMarcus Aldridge has a growing interest in joining the Lakers. With that being said the Lakers have turned to Russell to try and fill out the roster.
