The Los Angeles Lakers have brought in various veteran players on minimum contracts this offseason. In fact, despite the age of the team, Rob Pelinka actually did a wonderful job of putting together a deep roster of legitimate rotation players. Not every team can say they have 13 guys that can all actually play a role in the rotation.
As deep as the team is, the Los Angeles Lakers still have another roster spot that can be utilized. The team traded away Marc Gasol to move from 14 players on the roster to 13. And while they saved money in the trade, they likely are going to fill that roster spot for the season.
