Derek Fisher is 37 years old, and Steve Blake proved last year he wasn’t ready to take over the starting role. The Lakers need a point guard its just a matter of how big of a splash they are going to make.

The Lakers are curious to see if veteran point guard Baron Davis gets cut by Cleveland. He has two years and $28.7 million left on his contract, though he can be signed for substantially less than that.
Davis averaged 13.1 points, 6.7 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game last season with the Clippers and Cavaliers.
