Here’s how the Lakers roster looks after free agency
After an offseason with a handful of new faces coming in, here’s a look at where the Lakers roster stands with their NBA free agency coming to an end.
Free agency isn’t officially over in any capacity, but the Lakers have made their big moves and their roster is largely set heading into next season. As vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka forecasted in his exit interview, the Lakers kept together their core and swapped pieces around the margins.
