According to Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report, the Los Angeles Lakers could consider two former players as potential free-agent signings this summer. Both Malik Beasley and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who previously played for the Lakers, could be valuable additions to the roster.
Malik Beasley, currently with the Milwaukee Bucks, is expected to explore free agency for a more lucrative contract. Known for his sharpshooting, Beasley averaged 11.3 points per game last season with a 41.3% success rate from beyond the arc. His defensive skills may need improvement, but his offensive contributions make him a sought-after player.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, a key player for the Denver Nuggets, is also considering free agency. Caldwell-Pope has a $15.4 million player option for next season but might opt out to negotiate a better deal. As a proven 3-and-D wing, he has already won championships with both the Lakers and the Nuggets, making him an attractive option for teams looking to bolster their defense and perimeter shooting.
The Lakers are evaluating their options as they prepare for the upcoming free agency period.
