ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!?!? The Lakers kept the pedal to the metal in Tuesday's Day 2 of the free agency, making four more moves to continue (quickly) filling out what was once a nearly empty roster. First, it was the arrival of Carmelo Anthony, perhaps the easiest deal to predict in all of free agency. Next, a surprise with former Hornets guard Malik Monk, who is coming off a career year in Charlotte, but nonetheless was inconsistent, even as the 3-point shooting improved. After that, the Lakers addressed their backup point guard hole, agreeing to terms with former Heat guard Kendrick Nunn. And they capped things off by giving Talen Horton-Tucker a new deal. - - Busy, busy, busy! And, as it was Monday, a good use of resources, given how limited the Lakers are in the money they can throw around. The Lakers continued to bring in players who ought to outperform the contract they're getting. So how does all of this fit together? - - Andy Kamenetzky returns to the show after a quick vacation, and the Kamenetzky Brothers break down the incredible level of activity for LA.
