When the 2020 offseason opened, the Los Angeles Lakers had a clearly defined list of priorities. The defending champs would re-sign Anthony Davis to a max contract at the length of his choosing. The Lakers also wanted to re-tool their depth around Davis and LeBron James. Lastly, LA wanted to keep as much cap flexibility as possible for future offseasons.
Davis? Check. He agreed to a five-year max contract on Thursday that will pay him nearly $190 million.
Re-tool depth? Check. The Lakers added the top two vote-getters for 2020 Sixth Man of the Year by signing Montrezl Harrell and trading for Dennis Schroder.
