One can’t help but feel as if this further jumbles an already crowded front court.
The Los Angeles Lakers proved last season that they will leave no stone unturned when it comes to constructing their roster when they invited Marcelo Huertas to training camp and the two sides agreed on a deal.
This year, they have gone down a similar path, but with a much more well-known name among the NBA ranks. For a little while now, the Lakers and former No. 6 overall pick Yi Jianlian have been linked to one another. On Monday, the team officially announced that they have signed Jianlian, though the terms of the deal were not released, per team policy.
