The Lakers agreed terms Matisse Thybulle on a 1-season contract worth just over a few million dollars. Thybulle emerges as the most recent pickup to the roster, stepping in alongside a reshuffle that has kept on through the messy off-season stretch. Scouts stopped chasing him in free agency ages before this, which made the bargain pickup all the more puzzling. Front office now turn to other tasks, spanning filling open assistant GM spots that have drifted empty through the off-season. Training camp looms closer without those roles filled, giving the franchise thin on leadership support exactly when the year is about to tip.
