The Los Angeles Lakers have a roster problem. Bronny James, at least for now, does not appear to be their preferred solution.
ESPNâs Dave McMenamin said Thursday on NBA Today that the Lakers must make another move after signing Matisse Thybulle. The addition of the two-time All-Defensive selection left Los Angeles with 16 players on guaranteed standard contracts, one above the regular-season limit.
Although the Lakers can bring as many as 20 players to training camp, they must trade or waive somebody before opening night. McMenamin identified Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht and Jaden Hardy as three potential trade candidates.
Bronny was not among them.
His omission does not guarantee his place on the opening-night roster or make him untouchable. But it represents another encouraging sign for the 21-year-old guard following LeBron Jamesâ departure.
