Lakers Rumors: Montrezl Harrell Leaning Towards Opting In To Player Option

The Los Angeles Lakers have a number of interesting roster decisions to make this summer as they could potentially have as many as 10 key free agents.

One decision that isn’t theirs though is regarding Montrezl Harrell, who has a $9.7 million player option for the 2021-22 season and has until July 31 to decide if he wants to opt-in or out of it.

Harrell had an up-and-down first season with the team as the 2020 NBA Sixth Man of the Year found himself out of Frank Vogel’s rotation at times, most notably in the postseason. That led to him taking a bit of a shot at Vogel when responding to someone on social media.
