The Los Angeles Lakers are working towards finding the right balance to their roster. With trade deals and options floating around, the front office is weighing out options that seem the most suitable. Following the win against the Miami Heat, an insider from the organization spoke to Yahoo Sports about a move that the Lakers could make. As per this report, the front office might sign a ten-day deal with a shooting guard. The guard happens to represent Greece at the national level and is a teammate of Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Tyler Dorsey, a 6ft-4inch shooting guard, donned the Dallas Mavericks jersey earlier in the season. However, he has been waved off by the team. Following this, the Greece star reportedly spent time working out with the Los Angeles Lakers. General Manager Rob Pelinka and Coach Darvin Ham were present during these sessions and watched Dorsey with keen interest. The report suggested that the team is working towards a ten-day deal with Dorsey.

Laker Nation is fueled with frustration

In terms of shooting guards or guards generally, the Lakers already have the likes of Austin Reaves, Lonnie Walker IV, and Kendrick Nunn. So to add Tyler Dorsey to the list left fans questioning the logic and reasons behind this move. They took to Twitter to express their displeasure. While referring to the number of guards the team has, fans failed to believe that such news was true. They expressed that it felt Rob Pelinka and co. were playing around with them and the team. Some stated that the team isn’t taking their crisis seriously. Many claimed for the Lakers were a joke. Here are some of the reactions:

The impact Giannis Antetokounmpo left on Tyler Dorsey

Despite their strong displeasure towards this move, fans could find comfort in knowing the caliber of Tyler Dorsey. While his stint with the Dallas Mavericks was short, Dorsey has shown his skills with the Greece national team. During the FIBA EuroBasket 2022 tournament, Dorsey shot 43.9% from the floor and had an average of 13.6 points per game.
