Sandro Mamukelashvili, Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes and Collin Sexton are the new players for the Los Angeles Lakers, who completed all signings in less than an hour.

As reported by Shams Charania, the Lakers have secured four additions that are expected to provide significant support to Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves next season.

Mamukelashvili arrived in California and signed a four-year contract worth $52 million.

“Free agent F/C Sandro Mamukelashvili has agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal to sign with Los Angeles Lakers, with a player option for the fourth season, sources tell ESPN.”

As reported by Shams Charania, the new player of the Lakers is Walker Kessler. He’ll sign massive four-year, $130 million deal with the Lakers.

“The Los Angeles Lakers are acquiring Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030, sources tell ESPN. Kessler will sign a massive four-year, $130 million deal with the Lakers.”
This will be Kessler’s fifth season in the NBA, having played his first four seasons for the Utah Jazz. The American center played only five games for Utah last season before undergoing left shoulder surgery that ended his season. In those five games, he averaged 14.4 points and 10.8 rebounds.

Additionally, the Lakers have strengthened their backcourt position by adding Quentin Grimes, who will earn $60 million over four seasons.

“Free agent guard Quentin Grimes has agreed to a four-year, $60 million to join the Los Angeles Lakers, with a player option, sources tell ESPN.”

Finally, the fourth addition to the Lakers in a day is Collin Sexton. As reported by Shams Charania, Sexton is the new team member, who will earn $19 million over two seasons.
