Nick Young Lakers

The LakersΒ have come to be known as the Meme Team for theΒ eclectic cast of characters around LeBronΒ James, but they've been missing one important ingredient to fully realize their potential. After missing their first 15 three-pointers in Thursday's road opener against the Blazers, they finished just 7-of-30 from deep in aΒ 128-119 loss. In other words, they could really use a beyond-the-arc shooter. EnterΒ Swaggy P, who apparently saw the same opportunity for his services during the game:

It seems Nick Young, who is currently a free agent, feels he can help the Lakers' poor shooting. He tweeted and deleted this.. pic.twitter.com/aykSV1FrBZ

Lakers fans read it the same way as sportswriter AlexΒ Kennedy, and they are extremely here for a Nick Young returnβ€”though not necessarily because ofΒ his shooting.

Swaggy P wants to complete the infinity stone of the meme team.

Young tweeted againΒ with a message even more enigmaticΒ than the one he deleted. Good news for fans.

Still, Swaggy P remains a free agent. He spent last year winning a championship with the Warriors.
