As the Lakers look to find shooting to put around Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, they turned to one of the better stretch bigs on the market.
After being linked with him since before the start of free agency, the Lakers have reportedly agreed to a deal with Sandro Mamukelashvili, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.
Not only can the Lakers add Mamukelashvili, but they can also add a few more pieces with the remaining cap space.
The Lakers adding this big, along with reports of Walker Kessler’s signing, means the frontcourt depth has improved significantly.
Last season, Mamukelashvili averaged 11.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game with the Raptors. His 11.2 points were a career high, and it was also his best shooting year, as he made 52.3% of his shots.
