The Lakers completely reworked their roster at the trade deadline, bringing in five new faces in the 24 hours before the deadline and six if you include Rui Hachimura, who was acquired in the weeks beforehand. Impressively, through all that dealing, the Lakers maintained an open roster spot to use in the buyout market.
It figures to be a busy buyout market, one with a number of players available that are not far removed from being rotation players on high-level teams. The Lakers have less obvious needs now post-deadline but can still have some weaknesses addressed with the right signings.
