Los Angeles Lakers Rumors: Marcus Morris is a trade target, update on Kyle Kuzma's future and more

#1 Darren Collison still interested in joining the Lakers

Darren Collison is eying a return to the NBA with either the Lakers or Clippers

With much of the NBA looking to make upgrades, there are no guarantees that the Lakers will be able to close out a deal ahead of tomorrow's trade deadline. Nevertheless, LA could still upgrade via the free-agent market, and Sean Deveney of Heavy.com is reporting that experienced guard Darren Collison remains keen on a move to either the Lakers or Clippers:

He has remained in NBA-ready game shape and would be able to return to the court quickly once he signs. Collison, a native of Southern California who went to UCLA, does not want to leave the area. He would prefer to sign with either the Lakers or the Clippers—and both teams need an added playmaker.

Collinson spent 10 seasons in the NBA before walking away last summer to focus on his faith. Collison featured 76 times during the 2018-19 season with the Indiana Pacers, averaging 11.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and a career-high 6 assists in 28.2 minutes per contest.
