    The Los Angeles Lakers badly need to add shooting this offseason. Teams built around LeBron James tend to be most successful when they surround him with shooting, yet the Lakers ranked 25th in the NBA in made 3-pointers last season. Fixing that has been a priority this offseason, and the Lakers seem to have zeroed in on a target: Buddy Hield of the Sacramento Kings. Hield is a career 40.6 percent 3-point shooter, and only Stephen Curry hit more long-range shots than he did last season.

    The Lakers have been linked to Hield for some time, but now, according to The Ringer's Kevin O'Connor, they have "stepped up their efforts" by including the No. 22 overall pick in a deal that would also include backup center Montrezl Harrell and either Kyle Kuzma or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
