Further, George let it be known that he would like to sign with the Lakers in free agency. “That was something that I didn’t recognize,” Lakers President and co-owner Jeanie Buss said. At the trade deadline, George made no secret that the Lakers piqued his interest. The stark truth, though, is that any team except the Lakers would likely only be getting George on a one-year rental. Then again, if George will come to Los Angeles in free agency, there might be more sense in simply waiting until then.
