Virtually any way you slice it, between keeping restricted free agent Austin Reaves at a surprisingly reasonable figure and adding valuable role players like Gabe Vincent and Taurean Prince, the Lakers have had a wildly productive summer.
And with free-agent big man Christian Wood joining the roster, too—at the veteran minimum, no less—it’s simply a cherry on top for Los Angeles.
That said, the ESPN report outlining that superstar Anthony Davis told the club he’d like to play less at center would seem to negate much of the benefit in adding someone like Wood.
