Spurs: 3 Teams that should be lining up for Doug McDermott


1. Los Angeles Lakers
It's no secret the Lakers are in the market for more marksman after they ranked in the bottom third of the league in three-point shooting last season at 34.7%.
To make matters worse, their top shooter, Malik Monk, signed with Sacramento, and their next four-best shooters -- Avery Bradley, Wayne Ellington, Carmelo Anthony and Kent Bazemore, respectively -- are all free agents and unlikely to return.
That leaves LeBron James as the Lakers' top returning sniper from last season. Though a much-improved shooter relative to his prime, LeBron's sudden reliability from beyond the arc is more of a luxury than a necessity; it's more used to keep defenders honest when they're expecting a powerful drive to the basket.
NEXT: Would the Lakers settle for this lopsided B/R trade with the Spurs?
With Los Angeles linked with a trade for Buddy Hield, McDermott's career 40.9% on threes would be a seamless fit alongside James. While Troy Brown Jr. and Juan Toscano-Anderson offer more on the defensive side of the ball, McDermott could find himself in the Lakers' closing lineup with his ability to space the floor.
