Lakers Could Bring Back Former Draft Pick to Bolster Roster
Could an old friend be on his way back to Los Angeles to help head coach JJ Redick, Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic, LeBron James, and the rest of the Lakers?
In an Instagram post made by Lakers enthusiast mr.81mr.81, the account made a graphic in which it broke down five possible free agent targets Rob Pelinka may look into pursuing this offseason.
The soon-to-be 33-year-old is one of those players that can be counted upon to provide positivity in the locker room, as well as high-level energy when out on the floor.
The Lakers are all too familiar with what Nance brings from an intangibles standpoint. Though the injuries have zapped a bit of his athletic ability, Nance is still a guy who can credibly guard multiple positions on the floor in a pinch. He's always been known as an active defender, and his three-point shooting has continued to improve as he's gotten older.
More than anything, Nance Jr. wouldn't cost the Lakers very much. Considering how the team is strapped for cash at this present time, a veteran minimum deal could become very palatable especially if Nance Jr. can stay relatively healthy and give the Lakers some much-needed front court depth.
