Your Los Angeles Lakers may continue to make moves in the buyout market.
There’s a chance the Purple and Gold might acquire another player in the buyout after deciding to sign experienced former Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie once he clears waivers, according to league analyst Yossi Gozlan.
The Lakers will have claimed all 15 regular roster spaces after signing Dinwiddie, meaning they will need to cut to make a following move.
The team decided to consider players in the buyout market after holding out until the trade deadline. On paper, Dinwiddie’s addition should give their offence some more oomph.
Now that the Lakers have one place available, some good alternatives exist. They will still have access to players like Joe Harris, Evan Fournier, Cedi Osman, Marcus Morris, Kyle Lowry, and Davis Bertans. With Dinwiddie now in the fold, Lowry might not be the best match.
In one way or another, each of the players mentioned above might ignite the Lakers’ offence. It’s uncertain if Los Angeles will actively look to buy another player. Their perimeter defense still needs some work, so adding another player interested in scoring would also be beneficial.
