Seemingly from the start of free agency the Los Angeles Lakers began to overhaul what looks to be the core of their roster heading into the 2020-21 NBA season.
Vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka appeared to focus on younger talent after trading for Dennis Schroder, and reportedly agreeing to terms with Montrezl Harrell. Pelinka also managed to sign Wesley Matthews to replace Danny Green, as well as brought back Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on a three-year deal worth a reported $40 million.
While the main rotation looks to be set on paper, there is still the matter of filling out the margins as the Lakers could use another big man; Marc Gasol is now the team’s lone true center as he took the place of JaVale McGee.
