It’s been a wild start to 2021 NBA free agency for the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles moved swiftly to add a third superstar to the roster, agreeing to a trade with the Washington Wizards to acquire Russell Westbrook before free agency even began.

The negotiation window only opened on Monday evening, and the Lakers have already agreed to deals with Talen-Horton Tucker, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Kendrick Nunn, Malik Monk, Kent Bazemore and Wayne Ellington. Gone are 2021 contributors Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Montrezl Harrell, who were included as part of the Westbrook trade. Point guard Alex Caruso is also gone, after he agreed to a four-year, $37 million deal with the Chicago Bulls. What else is going on in Laker Land two days into free agency? Let’s take a look.
