The 2021 Lakers roster is mostly filled up, but the team does have a few spots left for players to compete for a spot alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. There have already been a few names rumored for those spots, with surely more to come. Here, we will be tracking who signs, and how many roster spots the team has left below, along with what type of contracts each player is joining on.
The contractual designations for these players are sometimes self-explanatory. Fully guaranteed means exactly what it sounds like, for example, meaning a player on that type of deal who got cut would count against the Lakers’ salary cap and be paid regardless, while a training camp invite is just that: An invite to the expanded, 20-man training camp roster that has to be cut down before the regular season.
