Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome in. Trevor Lane here for Lakers Nation.com. Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Hopefully you guys have a great one.

Wanted to do a little mini pod here on the newest Laker. That's Spencer Dinwiddie.

Now officially official, the Lakers have signed him off the buyout market. They used the money left over from Gabe Vincent's mid-level exception.

Remember, they did not give Vincent the entire MLE. And so they used the remainder to now sign

Spencer Dinwiddie and give their back court a little bit of a boost. So I wanted to get into

what the Lakers have here in Spencer Dinwiddie, what he's going to bring to this team. But

let's start here, though, first. Are the Lakers done? Or do they have another move in them? You know, I've had a lot of people asking me, can the Lakers go add someone else off the buyout market? It's not impossible for them to do that, but it's very unlikely. In fact, team sources have told me that they believe the roster is set now 15 players on the roster

with Spencer Dinwiddie. I was cautioned that look, anything could still happen. Maybe somebody

gets bought out they're not expecting or whatever or they find a need for somebody that's

out there on the market currently. But right now, it's fairly certain that the roster is going to be

set as is in order to go chase somebody else and free up

another roster spot. I've had a lot of people say, well, why not just waive Skylar Mays or why not wave Dylan Winler? Those are guys on two-way contracts. That's not going to free up a full roster spot, which is what you would need. And no, Jalen Hood, Chafino, Max Lewis, they cannot be converted to two-way contracts, you would have to cut them first. You'd have to waive them,

at which point other teams could swoop in and pick them. Max Lewis. They cannot be converted to two-way contracts. You would have to cut them first.

You'd have to waive them, at which point other teams could swoop in and pick them up,

which is probably what would happen.

In addition to that, if you were to wave players like that, in fact, anybody that you

would even consider waiving, Jalen Huffino, Max Lewis, Cam Reddish, you've got Christian Wood, Jackson Hayes,

all these guys that are on these like minimum or smaller deals just to create a roster spot.

They all have at the very least a player option for next year and that would lock you that money

on your books just as dead cap.

That's not what you want to do.

So from a cap space perspective, from a just managing
