The Lakers signed on Matisse Thybulle on a single-year contract priced at just over a few million dollars. Thybulle emerges as the freshest name to the roster, teaming up with a reshuffle that has pulled on through the quieter off-season stretch. Outfits gave up chasing him in free agency way before this, which made the cheap pickup all the more low-key. Suite now turn to other tasks, such as filling open assistant GM spots that have sat empty through the off-season. Training camp hangs closer without those roles filled, putting the club thin on executive support right at when the year is about to tip.
