Los Angeles Lakers

Key Players Added: Luol Deng, Timofey Mozgof
Key Players Lost:
Key Players Re-signed: Jordan Clarkson

Timofey Mozgof’s four-year $64 million contract is arguably the worst of the year. I think the only guy who feels really good about this contract is Tomofey Mozgof, and even he might find it undeserved.

The Lakers also signed veteran Luol Deng to a whopping four-year $72 million contract. Deng is a pretty good player, but Brandon Ingram will start at starting small forward. I like the Jordan Clarkson re-signing. The potential is certainly there.

Grade: D+
