The Lakers GM Rob Pelinka has to sign shooters as soon as he can, and is possible to bring some of the best shooters in the league 

The Los Angeles Lakers have played 16 games now and are standing on a 5-11 record, and the problem remains the same, a weak roster and a lack of 3-point shooters that can score.

Currently, at least five purple and gold players shouldn't be wearing the Lakers jersey, as they have not only underperformed but aren't exactly material for a contending team.

More Lakers news:

These five players combined have a 25 Million salary and could be enough to bring the best 3-point shooters in the NBA. That combined, they will cost Pelinka less than 20 Million in annual salary.

The Lakers players are Juan Toscano-Anderson, who has a 2 Million salary; Damian Jones with 2.4M; Kendrick Nunn, 5M, Dennis Schröder with 2M and even Pat Bev, who has been more of a pain in the ass than a real solution and will get paid 13 Million this season.

The best 3-point shooters the Lakers should sign instead

In the current season, there are three shooters that the Lakers could find a way to sign; one of them is a former Lakers and could make a return. The number one more efficient 3-point shooter in the league is Yuta Wannabe, with a 57.1%, and has a 2M salary. Josh Green is the number two most efficient with 53.1% and has a 3.4M salary. And the third and most expensive that will be making a return is Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, with an efficiency of 51.4% and a 14 Million salary.
