Damian Lillard is officially a free agent after being released by the Milwaukee Bucks following their move to sign Myles Turner away from the Indiana Pacers. Since his release, the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the teams that have been mentioned as a possible landing spot.

The Lakers are reportedly one of multiple teams that are interested in signing veteran nine-time All-Star guard Damian Lillard.
