With the start of the 2023-24 NBA season only about one week away, most teams are in the process of evaluating their rosters and making their final roster cuts/transactions. Oct. 23 is the deadline for teams to have their regular season rosters finalized but most teams will probably have that done before then. The Los Angeles Lakers have one regular contract spot left on their roster but they don’t necessarily have to fill that. Some teams leave an open roster spot for future flexibility. But the Lakers did sign guard Louis King to a contract this week as per Michael Scotto of Hoopshype.com.
Louis King does have NBA experience so it’s not a stretch to think that he might be a contender for the Lakers final roster spot. It’s not clear what kind of contract Louis King signed, however. He was initially acquire by the Lakers G League team the South Bay Lakers in a trade with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
