On the whole, signing Gabe Vincent to a three-year, $33 million contract during the 2023 offseason was a rough miss for the Los Angeles Lakers front office. The frustrating part of it all is, despite his shortcomings, the veteran guard still offers the Lakers something no one else does.
Vincent is a streaky shooter. That creates plenty of headaches for the Lakers offensively. Even so, the backup point guard is knocking down above the league average from beyond the arc. His combination of marksmanship and defense is not without purpose in the rotation.
However, his expiring contract and respectable skill set still make him the likeliest player to be traded out of any man on the Lakers roster.
