Kent Bazemore might be scratching his head when it comes to timing on making decisions. Ahead of the 2021-22 season, the veteran forward signed a one-year deal to join the Lakers in August ’21 after previously spending eight months with the Warriors.
Bazemore turned down money and two years from Golden State and believed he would have a larger role and opportunity to win a NBA title with the Lakers, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Shortly after Golden State defeated Dallas, 120-110, in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals, the Lakers forward congratulated his former teammates on advancing to the 2022 NBA Finals.
