Although there are no stars available in NBA free agency, there are several proven players who would fit well into the Los Angeles Lakers structure for 2024-2025 and who showed off their tools at the Paris Olympic Games.
In fact, various media outlets have reported that the new head coach of the Hollywood team, JJ Redick, has asked management to get low-profile reinforcements, but who can help in some way within the second unit and in different roles.
There are at least five basketball players who are on the market for the upcoming campaign in the prestigious league and who confirmed their arguments at the grand Olympic event to be acquired by Los Angeles or another franchise.
The agreement between the athletic power forward and Maccabi Tel Aviv has not yet been confirmed; which is why the former is still in time to sign with any NBA organization. But even if he had committed to the traditional Israeli quintet, Gabriel can break his pact and act in the elite American competition for the sixth consecutive year. As he demonstrated last week with South Sudan, the one who represented the Lakers themselves between 2021 and 2023, already brings defensive intensity in bulk, rebounds everywhere and the ability to run the court to the Memphis Grizzlies in 2023-2024.
