2019 NBA Free Agency – Live tracker, updated daily
LA Lakers:
June 30: One of three teams awaiting the decision of Kawhi Leonard which has the club in a holding pattern. Based on pundits comments there seems to be a widespread hope he joins the Lakers. Pretty sure everyone knows where I stand on that idea. And, not just because I’m Canadian. OKC Thunder fans also should be desirous of keeping the law in the East and not forming new superteams in the West.
July 1: Lakers finally add a player to the roster and get in on free agent action.
July 8: Avery Bradley expected to sign after clearing waivers (2-year, $9.7M)
July 22: Lakers claim Kostas Antetokounmpo on waivers
Once guard Avery Bradley clears waivers today, he plans to sign a two-year, $9.7M deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent Bill Duffy of @BDA_Sports tells ESPN. Bradley will have a player option on the second season.
