The Lakers: A Summer of Signings (Or Not)
The Los Angeles Lakers, those purveyors of purple and gold, have once again dipped their toes into the free agency pool. Whether they've caught a big fish or just a bunch of minnows remains to be seen. Let's dive in and see who’s joined the crew.

| Who Did The Los Angeles Lakers Sign |
LeBron Stays, But Who Else?
The biggest news, of course, is that King James has decided to stick around for another season. We're talking about a guy who could probably get a job as a greeter at Walmart and still be the most popular employee. But beyond LeBron, the Lakers have been playing their cards close to their chest.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
Rumor has it they're trying to build a team that can actually defend, which is like trying to teach a cat to play chess. Good luck with that, Lakers.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
The Supporting Cast: A Work in Progress
While we wait for the Lakers to make some splashy signings, let's talk about the players they've actually brought on board. It's a mix of familiar faces and new additions, which is basically the NBA offseason in a nutshell.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.

- D'Angelo Russell: Back for another round. Let's hope he's brought his shooting touch this time.
- Jarred Vanderbilt: A defensive-minded forward who can also contribute on offense. Basically, the Lakers are hoping he can be the LeBron of defense.
- Rui Hachimura: The Lakers seem to be on a mission to collect every international player they can find. We'll see if Hachimura can make an impact.
The Future is Unclear
The Lakers are in a weird spot. They're trying to win now with LeBron, but they also need to think about the future. It's like trying to balance a basketball on your nose while riding a unicycle. Not easy.
QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
One thing's for sure: The NBA offseason is never dull. And the Lakers, as always, are right in the thick of it. So grab your popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show.
