Why the Lakers should bring Tony Allen to training camp

The offseason is all but over for the Los Angeles Lakers, as Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka all but concluded their first splurge into free agency after bringing the camp roster to 19 with the addition of a number of young players and prospects. The Lakers lack the cap space to make any significant moves, whether it be chasing one of the few remaining restricted free agents of consequence or leveraging their space for assets as they did this time last year for Jose Calderon.

As a result, the team will likely be in a holding pattern until training camp, and while the specter of 2018 free agency looms ominously over several members of the roster— whether they be players on one-year deals or those who will almost certainly be cap casualties — chances are at the moment that everyone makes it to camp.
