The Los Angeles Lakers made a bit of a surprising signing a week before the start of training camp, as they inked veteran center Andrew Bogut to a one-year, partially guaranteed contract.
The signing made sense as the Lakers struggled greatly to protect the paint last season, and Bogut has a history with Lakers head coach Luke Walton dating back to their days together with the Golden State Warriors.
But the surprise was Bogut choosing the Lakers, as he reportedly had interest from both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, among others, which would have given him an opportunity to compete for a championship.
