The Lakers' injury troubles haven't stopped, as losing Davis and James on injury has been tough enough. But Drummond was injured in his Lakers debut (expected to miss 1-2 games). The Los Angeles Lakers also have a position to take advantage of, and maybe they can sign some players who help them. The Lakers have several options to choose from. Maybe they could sign a 3D wing to pull out space, or sign a center to stabilize the situation when Drummond and Davis aren't recovering.
Here are five players that the Lakers should be signing.
5. Thorne-Markle
On Jan. 15, the Cavaliers bought out Thorne Markle. He's not necessarily the best option, but he's a relatively easy center, Andrne Mark is a well-mannered, willing to coach, self-motivated, hard-working player, athleticism, shooting feel, excellent overall skills on the offensive end, lean but not weak, with a good outside shot, he still has a chance to be a capable NBA player. With a place for the Los Angeles Lakers, he could prove he could still shoot on the highest stage.
4. Dwayne Dedmund
Dwayne Dedmond is a center who is perfectly capable of being a temporary choice for the Los Angeles Lakers. Dwyane Dedmund is a defensive center who can also pull out space. If the Lakers ultimately choose a center, Dedmond will be one of the best options in the free agent market right now. Dwyane Dedmund is a center who knows how to play his part. He grabbed rebounds on the defensive end, protected the basket, and had a strong ability to finish on the offensive end, fierce down, and good mobility.
3. Wilson Chandler
Wilson Chandler is a player who played for the Brooklyn Nets for a time. Wilson Chandler is a flanker, and Wilson Chandler's three-point shooting percentage is OK, and while he shot just 30.6 percent from outside the three-point line last season, he shot 37.3 percent from three-point range in 2018-19. If he can maintain defensive pressure on the 3-point line while defending multiple positions, then Wilson Chandler will be a great option for the Los Angeles Lakers.
2. Carol
Throughout his career, DeMare Carroll has been a reliable 3D flanker. With a 35.8 percent shooting percentage from outside the three-point line over his career, he can serve as a solid addition to sticking to his role. DeMare Carroll is also remarkable defensively, with enough stature and perimeter defense to easily play multiple positions. DeMare Carroll will bring a decent role player to the Los Angeles Lakers who can do something on the defensive end while also shooting relatively well from beyond the three-point line.
1. Otto Porter
Otto Porter hasn't become a free agent yet, but there's a good chance the Orlando Magic will buy him out in order to rebuild the team at full strength. Otto Porter is an elite shooter who shoots 39 percent from three-point range this season. Elite shooters that all competing teams like. Otto Porter has excellent scoring skills, he can catch the ball and shoot or attack with the ball. He also played well defensively from the perimeter. If Otto Porter ends up as a free agent, the Los Angeles Lakers could lure him in with a potential championship. Otto Porter is the most competitive player on this list, and he can meet the needs of the Los Angeles Lakers!
The above is the five players listed by the US media (FW) for the Lakers to bring in, personally feel that there are several players are also good, the first Little Rivers, before there was news that it is likely to go to the 76ers (father and son together), in the Knicks average 7 + 2 + 2 in 21 minutes per game! The second Bradley, who said he liked heat culture at the Heat, came to the Rockets and said he hoped to keep playing with the Rockets, and last year at the Lakers got a bit of a mess! The third Harkless, is a very good 3D player, although the three-point shot is not much, but not efficient, in the defensive end can change the defense, if bought out is very suitable for the Lakers! Personally, I think Otto Porter and Harkless are very fragrant!
