The Battle for Free Agency: Warriors and Lakers Compete for Donte DiVincenzo

The battle for free agency will begin in just a few weeks, and it obviously promises to be very interesting. The Warriors will want to strengthen, as will the Lakers, who could simply steal a player from them. No pity…

Like every year, we expect a bit of a show on the market. Many franchises will try to be aggressive to improve their roster, and the Warriors and Lakers fall into this category. After a failure in the West in these playoffs, and without a “real” cador, the opportunity to win the championship again is present.

Upcoming battle between Warriors and Lakers?

Among the Angelinos, the priority is also quite clear for the leaders: to recruit shooters. The idea is to better surround Anthony Davis and LeBron James, who have a habit of squatting the racket. A target already mentioned? Donte DiVincenzo, on track to leave the Warriors during the offseason. A real blow.

Western conference leader “The Lakers will probably take a chance on Donte DiVincenzo from the Warriors, depending on what they do with him. He could ask for more than the MLE (about 12/13 million, editor’s note) on the market, but he would be the perfect player for the Lakers. A shooter capable of handling the ball off the bench. »

With 9.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists all at almost 44% shooting and 40% three-pointers, DiVincenzo is certainly a good profile for coming off the bench. The kind capable of giving a little boost and making a difference in the playoffs. No wonder the Angelinos are interested… but no doubt the Dubs will want to keep him. A beautiful fight in perspective.
