After the trade deadline has come and gone, several teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks are now looking at the buyout market to make the necessary adjustments to their respective rosters. One man has stood out from the rubble and that’s none other than former All-Star point guard Goran Dragic, who himself recently secured a buyout from the San Antonio Spurs after being traded from the Toronto Raptors.
There’s no denying that Dragic is the most coveted name in the market right now and teams have been scrambling to secure his services. According to ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the Bucks are currently the frontrunners to land the 35-year-old guard. However, LeBron James and the Lakers, among other teams, aren’t going to make it easy for the defending champs:
“[Goran Dragic] is spending this week talking with teams about where he might like to sign, and foremost on that list are the Milwaukee Bucks,” Woj said “… But the Bulls are competing for him. The Clippers, the Nets, the Lakers are trying to be involved in this.”
