The Los Angeles Lakers signed (former) Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent to a three-year, $33 million dollar deal that consumed most of the team’s mid-level exception (MLE).
Vincent is a formerly undrafted guard who became a mainstay on the Miami Heat, under the watchful of Coach Erik Spoelstra and one of the best player development staffs in the league (could argue only the Lakers come close).
Vincent became a much more recognized name after his stellar contribution to the Heat’s surprising NBA Finals run (just don’t tell them it was surprising) and showed he can make an impact on the biggest stages of basketball.
