After missing out on franchise-changing free agents such as LaMarcus Aldridge, Kevin Love, DeAndre Jordan, and Jimmy Butler, the Los Angeles Lakers are settling on second and third-tier players by signing Lou Williams and Brandon Bass on separate deals. The team is also reportedly close in a trade that will send All-Star center Roy Hibbert to Hollywood, as per ESPN.
