Lakers News: Magic Johnson Hopes To Fill Backup Point Guard Position In Next Week-And-A-Half

The Los Angeles Lakers and president of basketball operations Magic Johnson have had a solid offseason, as they added four players to the organization through the draft in Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart and Thomas Bryant.

They also added former All-Star Brook Lopez to the organization through a trade, and most recently they signed shooting guard Kentavius Caldwell-Pope to a one-year contract, adding some defensive toughness to a young backcourt.

While the bulk of the Lakers front office’s work this offseason is done, there are a couple roster spots still available, and Johnson has said that he would like to bring in a veteran point guard to help mentor Ball.
