Lakers have acquired promising young players this time, deciding against bringing back any of their free agents from last season. One such player - - who had a career year with the franchise, signed with LA's division rivals, the Sacramento Kings.

They also added depth to the center position by snapping up Damian Jones on a two-year deal. The additions of Jones, JTA, Brown and Walker give the Lakers more youth and athleticism, as well as length/mobility in the frontcourt. Overall size and 3PT shooting are still glaring weaknesses, though.

Overall size and 3PT shooting are still glaring weaknesses, though. LA likely lost and didn’t replace their two best shooters (Monk and Melo). The Lakers' roster age compared to that in previous campaign will be significantly lower this time.

The sharpshooter signed with the Sacramento Kings for a two-year $19 million deal in free agency. The most the Lakers could offer Monk was a midlevel exception worth $6.4 million, roughly $3 million less than what he'll now earn with Sacramento next year.
