After the failed pursuit of All-NBA superstar Kawhi Leonard, the Los Angeles Lakers quickly moved onto plan B which was filling the roster out with quality depth which would allow them to compete for the Larry O’Brien trophy this year.
The fallout from missing out on Kawhi was negated somewhat when the Lakers signed the likes of Danny Green, Avery Bradley, and Quinn Cook who will help the Lakers hugely with their 3-point shooting.
However, the Lakers roster, as currently constructed, is far from perfect. It is debatable whether a lot of these players would be on the roster had the Lakers gotten Kawhi or if the purple and gold had heard from Kawhi’s camp earlier in the free agency process, allowing for them to pursue other targets.
