It isn't very Swaggy-like, and there's no word on how Iggy Azalea would react to her fiance leaving L.A., but Nick Young is a strong candidate to be moved by the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski.

The rumor comes as one of the least surprising developments of Sunday, especially in the wake of news that the Lakers reportedly signed Lou Williams. The Lakers are also rumored to be working on a trade to obtain Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert. They also reportedly added power forward Brandon Bass on Sunday.

Should they add Hibbert's $15.5 million salary next year, their issue will be cap space. If a deal goes down, the Pacers would pay Hibbert's $2.3 million trade kicker, but it would impact the Lakers' cap. The once powerful franchise is hamstrung to some extent by the final year of Kobe Bryant's contract, and to a lesser degree by Young's deal, which pays him a little more than $16 million over the next three seasons.

The Lakers would love to deal Young, especially after signing Williams, whose high-volume, frequently inefficient shooting is basically a duplication of Swaggy P's game. Young shot only 36.6 percent from the floor this past season, averaging 13.4 points a night.

Another development Sunday has the Dallas Mavericks interested in acquiring Jeremy Lin from the Lakers via the sign-and-trade route. Lin is not expected to be back in L.A.
