It’s still unclear if the Lakers will have room for another max contract, it will all come down to the Pelicans agreeing to delay the execution of the trade and AD agreeing to waive a trade kicker.
But regardless, if I’m LA I’m not bringing in another max guy, I’m going after 2-3 experienced, veteran 3 & D guys. Bring in Reddick and Malcolm Brodgdon and see if you can get a guy like Ariza on a friendly deal. They’ll still need a guard/ball handler too.
But I think dumping all their cap room into one player would be a mistake, especially after what we just saw with the Warriors and their injuries.
