Lakers, Clippers, Bucks Among Teams Interested in Goran Dragic

A disastrous start to the season wasn’t enough to convince the Los Angeles Lakers to make a trade at the deadline. However, they quickly noted that they would be active in the buy-out market after failing to add a much-needed piece to their roster.

The Lakers have shifted their focus to Goran Dragic, negotiating his buy-out from the San Antonio Spurs. As noted by Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Chicago Bulls are among the other teams interested in the veteran point guard.

The Toronto Raptors dealt Dragic and a protected first-round pick to the Spurs for Thaddeus Young. This season, Dragic has played in just five games, averaging 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists.

Whichever team lands, Dragic will have a veteran presence off the bench, capable of playing starters minutes if needed.

The Lakers have fallen off the pace in the NBA Finals futures market at FanDuel Sportsbook, currently sitting at +3000 to win it all. Signing Dragic is unlikely to impact their position on the betting board.
