No. 4 – Los Angeles Lakers

Yeah, I know, the Lakers are after the bigger fish compared to Lamb, but I personally don’t see them landing a huge free agent. Let’s be honest, things in Los Angeles are a mess right now, but they still have cap flexibility, and Lamb could be a good second option for them.

Early into the 2018-19 season, the Lakers looked like a playoff team. However, things changed after multiple injuries to key players like LeBron James and Lonzo Ball, and after a hectic trade deadline where they were rumored to offer the majority of their roster in trade, things hit rock bottom.

However, having LeBron James on your team is a blessing, so I’m sure they feel comfortable going into free agency, despite all of the drama.

One area where the Lakers would like to improve is with their depth. If injuries do strike again next season (hopefully they don’t), having a guy like Lamb coming off your bench and stepping up would be big. Lamb would be a lot more reliable than the likes of Lance Stephenson and Josh Hart.

Signing Lamb wouldn’t be the slam dunk signing that most Lakers fans were hoping for, but he would be a big addition to a team trying to get back into the playoff picture.
