As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to head to Orlando to finish out the 2019-20 NBA season, they will have new players to continue introducing to their system. Some of that is because Avery Bradley opted out of the restart, and was subsequently replaced with JR Smith.
Meanwhile, the Lakers still need to fully incorporate Markieff Morris and Dion Waiters as well. Bradley was one of the team’s most important defensive pieces, but they believe they can adjust to life without him.
Bradley played in 49 of 63 games prior to the hiatus, starting 44 of them.
