Lakers Offseason: Marcelo Huertas and Larry Nance, Jr.’s bromance is awesome

The Los Angeles Lakers came to terms on a two-year deal with Marcelo Huertas on Thursday afternoon, and at least one of his teammates seems pretty excited to have him back:

Nance, Jr. isn’t the only one happy about Huertas’ return, though. It appears the 33-year old sophomore’s strong showing against the Golden State Warriors towards the end of the regular season last year made him more than a bit of a fan-favorite, judging by the replies to his tweet:
