After signing LeBron James to a four-year, $154 million deal, the Los Angeles Lakers are currently filling out the remainder of the roster for the 2018-19 NBA season.
Along with James and the young core, the Lakers have signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Lance Stephenson, JaVale McGee, and Rajon Rondo to one-year deals. While the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat surrounded James with shooters, the Lakers are going a different route by focusing on tough playmakers.
As the roster takes shape, the Lakers could use another center like Brook Lopez to balance out the position with McGee, Ivica Zubac, and Moritz Wagner.
