The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly finalizing agreements to sign unrestricted free agents Quentin Grimes and Sandro Mamukelashvili on Tuesday, aiming to bolster their roster depth.
According to NBA journalists Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, league officials believe both deals are secure after behind-the-scenes progress.
Financial Structure
The Lakers plan to use a $9 million Room Exception for one player and absorb a $10 million cap hit for the other.
This approach preserves enough cap flexibility to potentially pursue a trade for Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler.
Grimes fills a backcourt need after Luka Kennard signed with the Phoenix Suns.
Mamukelashvili adds frontcourt versatility, depending on whether the team retains forward Rui Hachimura.
