Why the Lakers expanding their roster heading into training camp is a good thing

The Los Angeles Lakers open training camp on Sep. 29 in Hawaii and remain active in rounding out the roster they'll take over the Pacific Ocean. The team officially announced the signing of Brazilian point guard Marcelo Huertas to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract, but that won't be the end of their offseason. The Lakers plan on signing at least three more players, bringing their roster up to 20 slots, according to Brad Turner of the Los Angeles Times.

The Lakers' basketball operations team powered through the predraft process, scouting well over 70 prospects heading into draft night.
