While the Los Angeles Lakers have done a majority of their work this summer, they still have three open roster spots so are not done yet.
The Lakers’ roster will be much different in 2021-22 after their blockbuster trade for Russell Westbrook began a complete remodeling with only four players from last season still with L.A.
That could still change, of course, as they have those three open roster spots that they need to fill and have already begun doing their due diligence to do so.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo though, it appears they may only fill two of those roster spots to maintain flexibility at the beginning of the season:
The Lakers, who have 12 players under guaranteed contracts, will go into the 2021-22 season carrying 14 players in order to maintain flexibility, sources said.
