2021 Lakers Roster: Here is everyone we know is coming to training camp

The 2021 Lakers roster is mostly filled up, but the team does have a few spots left for players to compete for a spot alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. There have already been a few names rumored for those spots, with surely more to come. Here, we will be tracking who signs, and how many roster spots the team has left below, along with what type of contracts each player is joining on.

The contractual designations for these players are sometimes self-explanatory. Fully guaranteed means exactly what it sounds like, for example, meaning a player on that type of deal who got cut would count against the Lakers’ salary cap and be paid regardless, while a training camp invite is just that: An invite to the expanded, 20-man training camp roster that has to be cut down before the regular season.

Two-way players — who split time between the G League and parent team — don’t count against the 15-man roster in the regular season, but do count towards the 20-player training camp limit.

An Exhibit 10 contract means that if a player on such a deal is cut in training camp, they can receive a bonus of anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 if they sign with the South Bay Lakers and stay there at least 60 days after clearing waivers. A player on an Exhibit 10 can also be converted to a two-way player if the team has one of its pair of two-way spots open prior to the regular season (for more minutiae like this, check out Larry Coon’s invaluable CBA FAQ). A team can’t have any more than six Exhibit 10 contracts at once.

Below is an updating list of everyone the Lakers have signed prior to training camps kicking off around the league on Sept. 28.
