Overview

• Los Angeles emerged as one of five teams targeting unrestricted free agent guard Ryan Rollins after the Bucks rescinded his qualifying offer this week.
• Rollins averaged 10.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19 starts last season while shooting 45.2% from three-point range.
• The Lakers remain in the hunt for guard De’Anthony Melton as an alternative backcourt upgrade despite his recovery from a partial ACL tear.
• Los Angeles can open a 15th roster spot by waiving Shake Milton’s $3 million non-guaranteed contract decision due by July 20.
• With cap room limited, the franchise intends to use its taxpayer mid-level and bi-annual exceptions to complete its guard rotation.
