The Los Angeles Lakers have been very busy since the start of NBA free agency on Friday. After making four signings on the first day of free agency, the Lakers followed suit with two moves on Saturday morning.
The first move of the morning was a smaller one as the Lakers signed young big man Jaxson Hayes to a two-year deal. However, LA then followed suit with a bigger move, re-signing D’Angelo Russell to a two-year contract.
The deal is worth $37 million and has a player option in the second season. This was the biggest shoe to fall thus far with Austin Reaves’ restricted free agency being the lone unchecked box for the Lake Show this summer.
