JJ Redick is a veteran sharpshooter, but the Lakers already have four guards and Redick has expressed a desire to remain on the east coast. Kelly Oubre struggled early in his tenure with the Warriors, but itвЂ™s hard to imagine he would sign for a minimum deal in Los Angeles and not remain with the Warriors at that price.

Danny Green is a former Laker, which seemingly gives him a leg up on other free agents this summer given the signings of Ariza, Ellington, Bazemore and Howard. Andre Iguodala is a former client of general manager of Rob Pelinka. Matthews also spoke of a desire to вЂњrun it backвЂќ during his exit interview at seasonвЂ™s end.Д®xternally, there are some names that make sense as well. A team can never have too much size on the wing and Matthews was one of the few Lakers that acquitted themselves well late in the season.

Wesley Matthews is also a free agent and certainly makes sense. However, one-year prove-it deals usually come on a new team, not with the team a player was already with. Dennis SchrГ¶derвЂ™s free agent market evaporated more quickly than his production level in the playoffs and he could return to the Lakers. There are a few incumbent options that could return. And after spending the taxpayer mid-level exception on Nunn, the Lakers can only offer veterans minimum deals. That would leave the team with two open roster spots remaining. A team does not send a player to recruit someone like Westbrook and not include him in their plans for the future. One of the formalities that will also take place in the coming hours or days will be the signing of Jared Dudley on a veterans minimum. Nunn, Bazemore, Monk, Ellington and Anthony all were above-average 3-point shooters last season.ДЄriza - 35% on 4.8 3PA- pickuphoop August 3, 2021 The emphasis put on shooting was clear after a postseason in which the Lakers struggled to throw a pea in the ocean, and an offseason that saw the team add another non-shooter in Westbrook. SG: Kent Bazemore/Talen Horton-Tucker/Malik Monk/Wayne Ellington By waiving Alfonzo McKinnie and his non-guaranteed deal, a not unexpected move, the Lakers opened up another roster spot that could be used on a win-now talent.ДЄs it stands, the Lakers will head into the season with some form of the following depth chart: In barely 24 hours, the Lakers went from five players on the payroll to a rather well-rounded roster of 12 names, with only a few moves left to make. Malik Monk, Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn will bring some (read: the only) youth to the team while Carmelo Anthony, Trevor Ariza and Wayne Ellington will bring veteran experience and shooting to the roster. A flurry of signings in the opening two days of free agency saw the Lakers rapidly fill out nearly the entirety of their roster with a whole host of fresh faces.
