The Los Angeles Lakers have to be considered one of the winners of free agency after reloading the roster in the first couple of days.
The Lakers had their hands tied after trading for Russell Westbrook as they were depleted of any cap space and had minimal draft assets or young players to throw in additional deals. However, Rob Pelinka was able to work around this as he targeted several veterans with varying skillsets who complement LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
It is no secret the Lakers were in desperate need of shooting and Pelinka addressed that issue by signing Wayne Ellington, Malik Monk, Carmelo Anthony and Kent Bazemore.
