There was always the possibility that Austin Reaves would have to take a short MLE deal from @Lakers. Still waiting for another team to make an offer for LA to match.
@utahjazz were a candidate, but they’re out.
Up to @spurs basically.

Lakers projected depth chart through the first day of free agency, assuming they retain Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell.
13 of the team’s 15 standard roster spots will be filled. Starters are fluid. A good amount of versatility in the frontcourt. pic.twitter.com/xGvdxf2O5H – 12:03 PM

Removed the paywall on this so everyone can read, because I’ve gotten a number of questions on it.
Disregard the goofy photo, I thought it was funny… but here’s why the Spurs aren’t signing Austin Reaves: matthewtynan.substack.com/p/san-antonio-… pic.twitter.com/vYcTBXC1Sp – 2:11 AM

The Lakers’ projected depth chart if they retain Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell:
DLo/Vincent/JHS
Reaves/Christie/Lewis
LeBron/Prince/Reddish
Rui/Vando
AD
They clearly need a backup center with one of their final two veteran’s minimum contracts. Starters are fluid. – 8:59 PM

Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish and a re-signed Rui Hachimura … all before the inevitable Austin Reaves re-signing.
Productive first day of free agent for the Lakers.
