Los Angeles Lakers: Four free agents to avoid this summer

The Los Angeles Lakers seemingly have big plans for the summer. There are some free agents the front office should steer clear of.

TheLos Angeles Lakershave been rumored to be huge players in the 2018 offseason for over a year now. Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka have made it their duty to clear up cap space for this summer. Their master plan worked, the Los Angeles Lakers enter this summer with $61 million in practical cap space.

However, as a result of freeing up so much cap, the Lakers have some notable holes heading into the offseason. As it currently stands, the Los Angeles Lakers do not have a starting shooting guard or center and may even loseJulius Randleas a restricted free agent.

The only players that will have a surefire impact on next season areLonzo Ball,Kyle Kuzma,Brandon IngramandJosh Hart. The rest of the impact players could potentially leave. Whoever else is on the roster has not proven to be an impact player.

Thus, while the Los Angeles Lakers are freeing up that money to sign a superstar, the front office will likely be busy in trying to fill the gaps that they created. With only one first-round pick, which is the 25th overall in the draft, the Lakers cannot resort strictly to the draft.

Several names are going to start getting connected to the Lakers because of these various needs. Some will be great, others will not. Here are four free agents that the Los Angeles Lakers should avoid at all costs this summer.
