Lakers expected to exercise $9M option on Jordan Hill

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to exercise their $9 million option for 15-16 on Jordan Hill.

He was one of the more productive Lakers this season, averaging 12.3 points and 8.2 rebounds.

The Lakers want to be active on the free-agent market, but considering the going rate for big men, front-office executives have told the Lakers are leaning toward keeping Hill, unless they get some assurance they can land a star big man in free agency.
