Most Interesting Lakers No. 15: Luol Deng faces an uphill battle to crack the rotation

Editor’s Note: The Silver Screen and Roll staff is counting down the most interesting Lakers heading into next season (The 15 guaranteed contracts plus the two guys on two-way contracts). We continue today with No. 15, Luol Deng, and will be counting down to the Laker we think is most interesting with a new piece each weekday until we hit No. 1.

Luol Deng is headed into the third year of the four-year, $72 million deal he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2016, when teams around the league gave out money to free agents like it was Ellen’s 12 Days of Giveaways.
