As for him signing with either team I don't think it's likely unless the Raps lowball him, in that case he'll just sign with the Lakers.

Kid from Compton, who went to school in USC, is likely going to be intrigued by the Lakers offer.
That carries weight, and is likely a dream for him, could really see him wanting to pursue that as it is a once in a career opportunity.
Plus he probably will have more merchandising power in L.A. that will help make up for a lower salary.
Other thing you have is that you know the Buss family will always spend to try and win a Championship.
