This summer, the Los Angeles Lakers will try and negotiate new contracts for some of their most important players. Because believe it or not, 11 of the 17 players they have on their roster this season will be free agents or have the option to test free agency.

Markieff played key minutes in the bubble for the Lakers on the way to his family’s first NBA championship and helped the team this season as it trudged through injuries to stars LeBron James and Davis.
