Lakers sign Thybulle... He's one of the top defenders, statistically, in the history of the NBA...
Why is there any hesitation?
Kaluma is a candidate for a 2-way contract.

Kaluma is signed and Walters is under investigation...
The Lakers got a steal with Cam Carr and the Warriors got a steal with Yaxel Landeborg... I think both will thrive in the NBA.
Here's a respectable summary of Cam Carr.
Speaking of LeBron, nobody has considered that he has the option to return to the Lakers. Rumor has it that he's waiting to see if AD or Kyrie would also be picked up by a team he might play for, but I doubt that. I think there ought to be selection deadlines given how LeBron is playing the entire league with this delay. Imagine a scenario where he was willing to play for peanuts and a bag Doritos, do the Lakers pull him back in given the super roster they have this year, and especially given that the Lakers still have not filled the 3 position?
Interesting consideration...
His family's preferences are as big as his own, and his $30M house is under construction in Malibu and they accepted the offer to play for the Lakers because his wife wanted to live in LA and he wanted to start his movie making career too. Cleveland makes sense and imo, given the dynamic, returning to LA makes sense... He's still top 10 in the league according to Perk...
The Lakers could waive Vando and Knecht, eat their combined $18M salary, which Walters can afford with the extra cash in his front pocket, and pay Lebron $15M allowing one more veteran add, does he do it? Do the Lakers do it?
Things that make you go Hmmmmm!
