Doc Rivers: Lakers Will Always be a Free Agent Destination

Even though the Los Angeles Lakers are in rebuilding mode and have missed on their top free-agent targets in each of the past three offseasons, Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers still believes the Lakers are a top destination for free agents.

“I think they’re always going to be an option,” Rivers said Friday before his team faced the Lakers at Staples Center. “I think the two teams in L.A. will always be an option for everyone else. You see the traffic every day, right? People like living here. Really. Despite the taxes, they still like living here. It tells you something, and the Lakers have a ton of money. So I think they’re a free-agent destination for a lot of people.”
