Two weeks have passed since the NBA’s free agency period opened up, and it’s safe to say that the Lakers aren’t done retooling their roster. Los Angeles welcomed five new role players to its roster (excluding the rookies) and said goodbye to six players from last year’s team. And while the Lakers shaped their roster this time with more young legs, defensive-minded and athletic players, the front office is well aware that they still lack arguably the most important type of players in modern basketball — shooters.
After all, as it currently stands, the Lakers have one more roster spot available, which they’re probably making room for a potential trade or a free agent.
