Lakers Rumors: Alex Caruso Re-Signs on 2-Year, $5.5M Contract
The Los Angeles Lakers continue to fill out their roster for next season, agreeing to a deal with Alex Caruso on Saturday.ย
Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Caruso's contract will be for $5.5 million over two years.ย
In the wake ofย Wojnarowskiย reportingย Kawhiย Leonard was choosing to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, the Lakers acted swiftly to boost their talent depth with many of the top remaining free agents available.ย
The Lakers are still waiting to finalize theirย dealย with the New Orleans Pelicans and Washington Wizards for Anthony Davis.
Wojnarowskiย and Ramonaย Shelburneย previously reported the Lakers were re-signing Rajon Rondo.ย Wojnarowskiย added they were signing DeMarcus Cousins and Danny Green.ย Shelburneย noted they will bring backย JaValeย McGee andย Kentaviousย Caldwell-Pope.ย
The Lakers will need to get their role players to step up as they try to build a 2019-20 title contender around Davis and LeBron James.ย
Caruso adds more depth at point guard for head coach Frankย Vogel. The 25-year-old showed promise in limited action last season. He averaged 9.2 points in 25 games and shot 48 percent from three-point range on 50 attempts.ย
