The Lakers agreed terms Matisse Thybulle on a short-term contract priced at just over a few million dollars. Thybulle lands as the latest addition to the squad, arriving with a shake-up that has dragged on through the odd off-season stretch. Teams stopped chasing him in free agency well before this, which made the quiet pickup all the more odd. Front office now turn to other tasks, spanning filling open assistant GM roles that have stayed empty through the summer. Training camp looms closer without those roles filled, pushing the club thin on admin support precisely when the year is about to swing.
