Great sign! With Vando and DFS handling the perimeter the Lakers don’t need a superstar center. Their defense takes pressure off the bigs, so a solid 7 footer like Alex Len is enough for size, rebounding, and rim protection to fit right in.
Free agent 7-footer Alex Len will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, agent Mike Lelchitski tells ESPN. Len intended to sign with the Pacers but has decided to land in LA after the Lakers rescinded the Mark Williams trade and created new opportunity.
Lakers guard Gabe Vincent is scheduled to join team during current road trip and is expected to be available to play vs. the Nets on Sunday barring setback, sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium. Vincent has been out since Dec. 20 due to knee surgery.
