Lakers, Jarred Vanderbilt agree to 4-year, $48M extension, sources say
LOS ANGELES -- Jarred Vanderbilt has agreed to a four-year, $48 million extension with the Lakers, locking in the defensive-minded forward a couple weeks before the start of training camp, sources told ESPN on Friday.
Sources said the new deal includes a player option for the fourth season.
Vanderbilt was acquired from the Utah Jazz in a flurry of moves that Lakers vice president of basketball operations and general manager Rob Pelinka orchestrated near the trade deadline last season and was a key piece in Los Angeles' late-season push to the play-in tournament through the Western Conference finals.
