It's going to be the talk of the offseason as everyone speculates where he will end up. The thought process behind the Lakers is that he is more concerned about life after basketball now. That includes his kid's future, personal business endeavors, and overall family happiness. Los Angeles would be able to check all three of those boxes for him. LA has quality schools and youth basketball competition for his sons. The city has a plethora of opportunities as far as business ventures are concerned and his family already spends a decent amount of time out there so they clearly enjoy the area.

The icing on the cake is that the Lakers have some young talent and cap space to build a competitive team around him while he finishes his career in a big market like LA.
