Gabe Vincent has agreed to a three-year, $33 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to The Athletic. The deal leaves a hole at the point guard position for the Miami Heat, who still aim to shed Kyle Lowry’s $29 million contract at some point this summer.
Vincent averaged 9.4 points and 2.5 assists during the regular season, and then 12.7 points on 37.8% shooting from 3 and 3.5 assists in 22 playoff games.

Why did the Heat let Vincent get away?
Pat Riley visited Vincent in Southern California this week to try to convince the 27-year-old point guard to stay in Miami, knowing that the Heat would not match outside offers, per the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson.
