The LA Lakers have been busy in the free agency market, and four players are on the waiting list to be resigned, but there's a harsh reality

The Los Angeles Lakers have been busy in this free agency market, and in only 24 hours, the team was able to re-sign their top priorities and sign new players.

But some players have also left, as Schroder signed in free agency with the Toronto Raptors for a two-year deal worth 26 million. Troy Brown Jr. is a new Timberwolves forward.

Mo Bamba and Shaquille Harrison were waived, and after all these moves, four players are waiting to see if the purple and gold re-sign them: Mo Bamba (could sign with the vet min.), Malik Beasley, Wenyen Gabriel, and Lonnie Walker.

But the worst news comes from GM Rob Pelinka, who said that with 13 players in the roster of 15 available, they are planning to have only 14 players to start the season, and the last spot is for a center they are looking to sign. So there's almost zero chance of any of them returning one more year.

The pressure is now on Darvin Ham

Now that Pelinka has cooked, the pressure is now on head coach Darvin Ham, who is no longer in his rookie year, many believe Ham made some critical mistakes, and because of Ham, if the Lakers failed, the blame will go to him.
