This summer, we have seen Rob Pelinka and the Los Angeles Lakers organization put on a clinic when it comes to free agency. The Lakers teams of the past have been lopsided in many ways, but not this year. The 2021-22 roster was lopsided in regard to age, with the team’s average age being right below 30 years old.
The roster the following season (until the trade deadline) was lopsided in regards to minimum contracts, unfortunately, due to Russell Westbrook’s massive contract. This year’s team, however…is perfectly balanced?
The team went out and signed players Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, Jaxson Hayes, and Cam Reddish; flipping the script from being a very guard-heavy lineup to a well-rounded roster.
