New flash:Lakers have confirmed a deal of £17.6m excellent player from…..
Your Los Angeles Lakers may not be done making moves in the buyout market.
After agreeing to sign veteran ex-Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie once he clears waivers, there’s a possibility the Purple and Gold could add another player in the buyout, per league expert Yossi Gozlan.
Following the Dinwiddie signing, the Lakers will have all 15 standard roster spots spoken for, and would have to cut someone for a subsique not move
After standing pat at the trade deadline, the team decided to look at players in the buyout market. So far, on paper, the signing of Dinwiddie will provide some punch to their offense.
Now, with the Lakers having one spot open, there are some solid options to choose from. They’ll still have the likes of Kyle Lowry, Davis Bertans, Seth Curry, Marcus Morris, Cedi Osman, Evan Fournier and Joe Harris available to them. Lowry may not make a ton of sense fit-wise with Dinwiddie now in the fold.
All those players mentioned could help spark the Lakers’ offense one way or another. It’s unclear whether Los Angeles will aggressively pursue another player via buyout. They still need some help on the defensive end with their perimeter defense, and another scoring-minded player wouldn’t hurt as well.
The needs are obvious; the players are there. We’ll see if Rob Pelinka and the front office decide to sign another player with 28 games remaining.
