The Lakers finally made some moves. The signings of D.J. Augustin and Wenyen Gabriel are better than standing pat, but does it move the needle for this season?

Like Jarrett Jack, Steve Blake and many others before and after them, D.J. Augustin is part of a career-backup point guard fraternity whose splits are notably on the high side against the Lakers. AK basketball-reference.com/players/a/augu… – 11:25 PM

Does D.J. Augustin address more pressing needs than DeAndre Jordan? Absolutely. But is he as good at throwing passes into the third row? Only time will tell. AK – 7:46 PM

More on this storyline
Keith Smith: Last day for NBA teams to waive players and have them retain playoff eligibility. We’ve already seen/had reported a handful of players waived/to be waived (some took buyouts): Goran Dragic DeAndre Jordan Tomas Satoransky Tristan Thompson Let’s see if anyone else joins them. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / March 1, 2022
The Philadelphia 76ers are emerging as front-runners to acquire center DeAndre Jordan either as a waiver claim or a free-agent signing, sources told ESPN on Monday. The Sixers have been aggressive in pursuit of a backup center since including Andre Drummond in the trade-deadline deal to acquire James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets, sources said, and the Lakers’ waiving of Jordan on Monday moves the Sixers closer to filling that roster hole. -via ESPN / March 1, 2022
Adrian Wojnarowski: The 76ers have been in the market for a backup center and will be aggressive in pursuit of DeAndre Jordan — either placing a waiver claim or working to sign him as a free agent should he clear waivers, sources tell ESPN. -via Twitter @wojespn / February 28, 2022
