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.
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.
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.
