LeBron to join forces with a former teammate, the veteran looks forward to his potential comeback

Shams Charania from The Athletic reported that Collison joined the South Bay Lakers to help “lead the No.2 seed to a G League title.” According to Charania’s report, Collison probably hopes to earn a “call-up to an NBA team.”

Sources: Free agent guard Darren Collison is joining the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate – South Bay Lakers (17-9) – in hopes of helping lead the No. 2 seed to a G League title as well as earning a call-up to an NBA team.

In December, 2021, Collison signed a deal with the Lakers. He played three games during the 10-day stint with the team. He played just 12.3 minutes off the bench and averaged 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game with the team.

Collison may be 34 but he has a lot to offer. He joined the G League in an effort to make a big splash in the playoffs. The 6-foot point guard will try to get the attention of NBA scouts. Maybe he will get a chance to finish his basketball career as a veteran on an NBA team. A lot of players share the same destiny and they all want to get the attention of big teams.

LeBron could use an extra pair of hands and getting a veteran like Collins would be of great help at this point. If the Lakers don’t want him, other teams may show interest in Collison.

The Lakers have to make some changes to their roster. This team struggles to make an impact. Rob Pelinka may want to make a move and trade a few players. Getting new names could be of great help, too. Who is the next player to join the franchise?
