The NBA offseason has reached a lull as the Olympics continue and teams take a break before training camp gets underway. While LeBron James and Anthony Davis continue to vie for the gold medal in the Paris Olympics, the Lakers’ brass continues to look for ways to potentially upgrade the roster.

Finally, James suffered a minor injury during the Olympics quarterfinal matchup against Brazil.
