The Lakers reached a deal for Matisse Thybulle on a one-year contract valued at just over a few million dollars. Thybulle reads as the freshest name to the rotation, joining a group that has kept on through the odd off-season stretch. Teams stopped chasing him in free agency well ahead of this, which made the quiet pickup all the more low-key. Suite now turn to other tasks, spanning filling open assistant GM seats that have drifted empty through the run. Training camp looms closer without those roles filled, leaving the side thin on admin support exactly when the run is about to lift off.
