Other players the Lakers have been loosely linked to in other reports include Seth Curry, Nate Wolters, Josiah Turner, Norvel Pelle, Adonis Thomas, Jordan Henriquez and Zeke Marshall.
The Lakers can talk to potential draftees but can’t reach out to NBA free agents until July.
Vincent Ellis of the Detroit Free Press did note that there may be some interest between the Lakers and Pistons free agent guard Will Bynum.
