The Lakers announced on Wednesday that they signed G League forward Devontae Cacok to a two-way contract after the forward recorded 10 double-doubles in 12 G League games. Cacok, who went undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft is averaging 16.3 points and 11.7 rebounds in 12 games for the South Bay Lakers of the NBA G League. After signing a two-way contract with the Lakers, Cacok spent the season with South Bay due to the Lakers’ depth in the frontcourt. The Los Angeles Lakers made a roster move earlier this week and no, likely won’t affect their season-long outlook. With LeBron James running the show offensively, Rajon Rondo shooting the ball well from the 3-point line and Alex Caruso providing quality play on both ends, perhaps the Lakers made the decision they don’t need more players who are score-first oriented like Norvell.

Other than the trade for Anthony Davis, perhaps the other biggest difference between the 2018-19 Lakers and the 2019-20 NBA Champion Lakers was the increased experience and expertise in the Lakers coaching staff. The Tampa Bay Rays rallied from an 8-7 deficit in the bottom of the 9th inning to win Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, to win the game 9-8 and tie the best-of-seven series at 2-2. However, it’s still interesting to see what the Lakers believe they need at this point in the season when it looks like they have everything under control with a 22-3 record. In a related move, the Lakers waived guard Zach Norvell Jr., according to The Athletic/Stadium’s Shams Charania. Norvell was previously signed to a two-way contract with the Lakers after going undrafted out of Gonzaga.
