Even after winning their 17th championship, Los Angeles Lakers are showing no signs of slowing down. They have been one of the most active teams in the offseason. Even though veterans and key figures like Rajon Rondo and Dwight Howard have parted ways away from the franchise. Lakers were quick in acquiring Denis Schroder and Montrezl Harrell. With another news coming in, the defending champions have re-signed Markieff Morris.
Markieff Morris had his struggles at the offensive end in the regular season as well as in the playoffs. He spent a little time in the free-agency field before the Lakers looked at all their options for an upgrade and then signed Morris again. Having said that Morris has proven to be valuable on the defensive end and is a good three-point shooter.
Lebron James and Magic Johnson thrilled to have Morris back with Lakers
With hopes to win another title consecutively, LBJ showed his excitement to have Morris back on his Instagram Handle. He gave a shout out to Morris for choosing to remain with the defending champions by posting his picture and wrote, “YESSIR!!!! MY DOG. LET’S GET IT AGAIN MY G!!”.
Not only that but Lakers legend, Magic Johnson also showed his satisfaction with this deal. He posted on Twitter, “I’m so glad the @Lakers resigned Markieff Morris because he shot 42% from the 3-point line during the playoffs opening up the floor for the Lakers two superstars LeBron and AD!”
However, Morris’ play time could take a hit as Harrell is also registered in the Lakers roster. But what the former’s new role is going to be is yet to be seen. Will this roster shakeup make the Lakers a stronger contender for the championship? Or should they have stuck with the same players who got them the title last season as much as possible?
