Coming around on the moves the Lakers have made this offseason for Roy Hibbert, Lou Williams, and Brandon Bass.
The Los Angeles Lakers had me worried in the early days of free agency. They missed out on the big fish, with LaMarcus Aldridge going to the Spurs, and DeAndre Jordan going to the Maverickss, though that was to be expected. From the sounds of things, their meeting with Aldridge was just short of disastrous, featuring a presentation that focused little on basketball, and left Aldridge reportedly very unimpressed.
But the disappointment didn't stop there. Realistic Lakers targets fell off the board left and right, with Robin Lopez going to the Knicks, Brandon Wright going to the Grizzlies, Kosta Koufos going to the Kings, and Tobias Harris re-signing with the Magic without signing an offer sheet with another team.
