Lakers Rumors: Lou Williams Being Shopped, Likely Will Be Traded By L.A.
Share this: Lou Williams’ days with the Los Angeles Lakers might be numbered. The guard has been having a strong season so far for the Lakers, averaging 18.6 points in just over 24 minutes per game.

So it appears there’s a strong chance Williams will be joining his fifth NBA team before the Feb. 23 3 p.m. ET deadline. Thumbnail
