Who’s staying, who’s going? Here’s everything you need to know about all of this summer’s upcoming Lakers free agents, plus their contract options for 2023-24.
The Los Angeles Lakers have once again found themselves in an NBA season ideal for a Hollywood script — and one that even a writers’ strike couldn’t stop. The team’s 2022-23 season got off to a dreadful start, forcing GM Rob Pelinka to make several trades to revitalize his roster and the Lake Show’s locker room. After those moves were made, the Lakers became one of the better teams in the Western Conference down the stretch. First-time head coach Darvin Ham deserves credit for making a similar string of adjustments in what is his inaugural season, finding the right chemistry and togetherness to build a true contender around LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
Those two superstars figure to be cornerstones of the franchise for the next couple of seasons, but like every team in the NBA, the Lakers will have a few key roster decisions to make heading into the summer if they want to keep the fire burning.
With that in mind, let’s check out the full list of 2023 Lakers free agents for the upcoming offseason, as well as their contract options currently on the books.
