Bradley Beal has indicated an interest in joining the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers, but Lakers insider Jovan Buha suggests that this may not be in his best interests.

The Phoenix Suns are undergoing major changes. The team traded away Kevin Durant in a blockbuster five-team deal. Now, the franchise is now focused on reaching a buyout agreement with Bradley Beal. According to multiple reports,

Bronny James's rookie season is already behind him. He'll spend a portion of his offseason competing with the Los Angeles Lakers' Summer League team for an opportunity to work on his game alongside the NBA's newest draft class.

Adou Thiero, the No. 36 pick in last month’s NBA draft, won’t play in Summer League games as he rehabs a knee injury but is expected to be ready for training camp.

Deandre Ayton will wear No. 5 for the Lakers as he suits up in purple and gold this season. Ayton signed a two-year, $16.6 million contract with the Lakers last week after he finalized a buyout with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Deandre Ayton is officially a Los Angeles Laker. And now, Lakers fans know what number he'll be wearing. Ayton has chosen No. 5 as his L.A. jersey number. It's a choice with a bit of a checkered history for the Lakers.
