Lakers have been eyeingKevin Durant and Kevin Love for a minute. They were trying to get them for 2015 and 2016, but there's a report saying Los Angeles is trying to land Love for next season instead of waiting for him to become a free agent in 2015.

ESPN reports that Los Angeles may be thinking about trading its high lottery pick for Love. There's a decent shot of this happening, too. The Lakers are 24-48 and their biggest highlight of the past couple of months was a miss (c'mon, are we going to count blowing out the Knicks a highlight?). Minnesota just destroyed the Lakers, 143-107, but is still barely keeping afloat at .500 in a stacked Western Conference. Time for some changes. Cue the soundtrack...
