This was without a doubt a wild summer in free agency for not only the Los Angeles Lakers, but the rest of the NBA.
With a lot of All-Stars hitting free agency at the same time, it became clear that some big names were going to be on the move. Just before the start of free agency, however, some big names went down.
In the NBA Finals, both Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant went down with major injuries. These injuries to two of the best players in the game might have impacted free agency, as major injuries are always concerning when a team is about to hand out over $100 million.
