[Saba Sports News] The Los Angeles Lakers are among the teams looking to sign DeMar DeRozan this offseason. Could his recent music video appearance hint at a possible DeRozan-Lakers union?
DeRozan made a cameo in Kendrick Lamar’s music video for “Not Like Us,” released on Thursday. He was briefly seen during a line where Lamar mentions the 6-time NBA All-Star by name.
“I’m glad DeRoz’ came home, y’all didn’t deserve him neither,” the lyric goes. Despite only having four seconds of screen time, it was enough to convince some Lakers fans that a signing with the team was imminent. Both DeRozan and Lamar hail from Compton, Calif., and DeRozan has openly expressed his desire to “come home” and play for the Lakers. He even admitted that a potential move to the Lakers nearly happened in 2021.
With DeRozan likely to leave the Bulls this offseason, the Lakers are highly motivated to bring him to Los Angeles.
