The Lakers are eyeing Keon Ellis, a perimeter defender who struggled during his playoff stint with the Cavaliers, where he averaged just 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game. After a disappointing postseason, Cleveland is likely to part ways with him due to tight financial constraints. With the Lakers having more cap space, they could capitalize on Ellis’s lowered market value to address their athleticism needs. His potential as a solid defender makes him an appealing target for LA this offseason.
