The Lakers agreed terms Matisse Thybulle on a single-year contract priced at just over a few million dollars. Thybulle lands as the latest addition to the roster, joining a group that has carried on through the long off-season stretch. Outfits gave up chasing him in free agency well ahead of this, which made the quiet pickup all the more odd. Suite staff now turn to other tasks, like filling open assistant GM seats that have stayed empty through the window. Training camp crowds closer without those roles filled, putting the club thin on admin support just when the run is about to crack open.
