The LA Lakers made a couple of signings at the end of the regular season, exclusively for their postseason run, but it didn't help them

The Los Angeles Lakers surprised everyone when they could make it into the playoffs after being the 13th seed in the West for a long time. But once the postseason ended, Pelinka signed two players to help the team contend for the championship title.

Tristan Thompson and Shaquille Harrison were the players that Coach Ham got at the last minute. But Harrison hardly saw the court, only for garbage minutes.

Because of that, he was waived before the start of the free agency market. Now, information via Eurohoops has that Harrison will be moving away from the NBA as different European teams want to sign him.

Harrison was part of the South Bay Lakers before signing with LA, and while he has a vet run in the NBA, it seems his new destination is no longer in the USA.

Tristan Thompson remains a free agent

While the Lakers are still looking to add a new backup center to their roster, Thompson remains a free agent. But Pelinka and Ham aren't looking to sign him back.
