Jared Dudley Thanks LeBron James, Anthony Davis & Lakers After Accepting Mavericks Coaching Job

The last remaining piece to the Los Angeles Lakers offseason is what they plan to do with their open roster spots.

Unlike most teams, the Lakers still have several spots left to fill and could be a prime destination for veterans left on the market. Even though the Los Angeles stocked up on shooters, they could still use another wing or big man to solidify depth at those spots.

One of the major surprises, though, is that Jared Dudley was not in consideration for one of the final remaining spots. It was seemed like a foregone conclusion that Dudley would be back with the Lakers, so it was a shock when news broke that he accepted an assistant coaching position with Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks.
