The Los Angeles Lakers roster is nearly complete for the 2021-22 season, although they do still have some open spots remaining to round it out.
The expectation is one of those open spots will go to Rajon Rondo as it was reported over the weekend that he is being bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies and the Lakers are the favorites to reunite with him once he clears waivers on Monday.
Bringing back Rondo doesn’t come as much of a surprise given the role he played on the Lakers’ 2020 championship team as well as his close relationships with Frank Vogel, LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
