With training camp just weeks away the Los Angeles Lakers currently have 19 total players under contract, with 14 of those being guaranteed. That leaves room for one more player to be invited to camp with a chance to make the team.
Things have been quiet on the Lakers front as far as bringing in another player, but one of the more intriguing free agent wings available is former Minnesota Timberwolves forward Shabazz Muhammad.
The former lottery pick from UCLA has come into his own over the last couple of years as a dangerous scorer off the bench and according to Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, Muhammad is considering joining the Lakers:
I'm told Shabazz Muhammad considering joining his former agent Rob Pelinka with Lakers, LA considering options as well

Muhammad is a very strong, physical wing who does a lot of his work inside the paint as most players at his position aren’t strong enough to stop him from getting to the basket.
