The first day of free agency for the Los Angeles Lakers was spent bringing in older veterans, all of whom coincidentally had previously played for the franchise. But there were questions as to whether the Lakers were getting too old and needed to bring in some young players as well.
One option that had not been linked to the Lakers but offered an interesting buy low possibility was Malik Monk. The young guard is a known scorer who improved his three-point shooting last season and would seem to still have the potential to grow into a much better player.
