The Lakers make another second round exit and the rumor mill starts churning.  There were talks of shipping off Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol, bringing in Andre Iguodala and even amnestying Kobe Bryant (jokes).  The latest in the rumor mill is Brandon Roy coming back from retirement and joining the turbulent team.  Read more after the jump.

Brandon Roy retired last year after suffering from chronic knee problems.  It was quite a shock to everyone who felt the 27-year-old guard could still play at a high level.  Since then there’s been rumors of a Roy comeback and now a team has been listed as a possible destination.

According to Chris Palmer of ESPN:

I love Brandon Roy as much as anyone else and I still think he can come off the bench and cause some havoc but I don’t think he’s the answer to the Lakers’ problems.  It’s clear the team needs a young point guard to facilitate the offense.  An injury-prone Roy can’t really fix their offensive woes.  As a plus side the Lakers can get Roy for the veteran minimum, a small price to pay for a former All-Star.
