The Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a difficult position heading into the NBA offseason. They will have limited cap space and resources to retool a roster that was unceremoniously bounced from the first round of the playoffs by the Phoenix Suns.
The backcourt situation is in flux because of the impending free agencies of Dennis Schroder, Alex Caruso, and Talen Horton-Tucker, but the Lakers could also be looking at several holes at center. Montrezl Harrell has a player option that he is widely expected to opt-out of, while Marc Gasol could choose to retire or play for his native Spain.
