Although training camp is set to begin on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers have not yet filled their roster as they have only handed out 13 guaranteed contracts when they have 15 available spots.
Rob Pelinka gave some insight into why that is during his press conference on Thursday, revealing that they will likely go into the season with 14 players because of luxury tax purposes as well as to maintain flexibility for the buyout market.
That means that they will still add one more player before the start of the season though, and Pelinka said they are in their final evaluations before filling that spot.
