On February 13, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, according to a prominent ESPN reporter, the Spurs plan to have a buyout discussion with Dragic next week. Meanwhile, the Lakers intend to sign him.
On the trade deadline, the Raptors sent Dragic to the 2022 first-round pick, from the Spurs to Thaddeus Young, Drew Eubanks, and the 2022 second-round pick (from the Pistons). If the Spurs and Dragic reach a buyout, he will become a free agent.
In addition to the Lakers, the Lone Rangers will be one of dragic's potential descendants, both of which are slovenian origins. In addition, the Bucks, Nets, Bulls and Clippers are also interested in Dragic.
Last summer, the 35-year-old Dragic was traded to the Raptors, but he only played five games for the Raptors, averaging 18 minutes per game, averaging 8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1 steal, shooting 38.2% from the field and 28.6% from three-point range!
In previous mid-season deals, the Lakers had tried multiple trades, but ultimately failed. The Lakers had to target the buyout market. According to previous media reports, in addition to Dragic, the Lakers are also watching the situation of Schroeder, Millsap, Bledsoe and others.
