Nuggets’ Ty Lawson to enter private alcohol treatment program, then face DUI

As for the Detroit Pistons, they will need to focus their attention on big man rather than guards. Why?

Mudiay has been one of the most impressive players participating in the Summer League and has proven that he can compete at the next level. The 27-year-old is one of the most complete guards in the game, but now faces a personal challenge of monumental proportions. Another team that could throw their hat in the ring for the services of Lawson would be the Sacramento Kings, who are coached by former Nuggets head coach, George Karl. Kobe Bryant and Julius Randle are two of just five returning players, and they both missed the majority of last season with injuries.

If the team wanted to sever ties with Lawson, it could do so, but at a cost.

With Russell still finding his way around, the Lakers are apparently looking to bring in a proven playmaker like Lawson. The team acquired Marcus Morris and Vince Ellis in the offseason which should help Detroit get back into being contenders, but having a dynamic backcourt could be the x-factor for the team. Mostly because they each are set, or appear to be, at the point guard position.

As for the Pistons, the interest seems a bit odd.

If the Pistons are indeed interested though a trade for Lawson involving Jennings could very well make sense as he could provide some reserve stability.

Ty Lawson’s stats prove promising for any team in the National Basteball Association.

Lawson would be a terrific addition to the Lakers since he can serve as Russell’s mentor and give the Lakers a playmaker capable of creating shots for himself and his teammates.

The fact behind it all is that Lawson carries a hefty contract which the Nuggets want to unload.

And the Nuggets have expressed a desire to retain free-agent forward Darrell Arthur, who made $3.4 million last season.
