Many of the recent Los Angeles Lakers rumors have focused on the team’s future. LeBron James was recently talked about by NBA executives, and the Lakers were picked as the likeliest landing spot. However, the most recent Lakers rumors involve filling out their final roster spot.
Right now, the Lakers have 19 players under contract, which includes players on partially guaranteed deals. You are allowed to carry 20 players on your roster during the offseason, so the Lakers have one more spot to fill if they choose to. Lakers management may have someone in mind for the spot.
