The Los Angeles Lakers have pivoted in their bid to add center depth to their roster after the failed Mark Williams trade by signing Alex Len off the buyout market. Due to the Williams trade failing, the Lakers didn’t have an extra roster spot and decided to waive Christian Wood to accommodate Len.

 

Wood was clearly not anticipating this, as he told Lakers fans on X that he was going to be ready soon exactly 30 minutes before Shams Charania revealed he’d been waived.
