Lakers Eye Bargain Perimeter Defender

With the Cavs likely moving on due to cap constraints and Ellis’s underwhelming postseason stats, LA’s ample cap space positions them to swoop in. Ellis’s defensive prowess — solid steals, perimeter hustle — remains intact, even if his offense faded. If Cleveland lets him walk, the Lakers may just snag a bargain defender who could plug a key need without breaking the bank. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
