The Los Angeles Lakers may have a logjam in the backcourt, but it hasn’t stopped them from picking up yet another guard.
They already have Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley, Kendrick Nunn and Dennis Schroder competing for minutes at the point guard spot, while Austin Reaves and Lonnie Walker IV are the main 2 guards.
It seems the team also plans on playing Beverley at the 2 at least sometimes, possibly to help relieve this logjam.
On top of that, it signed Shaquille Harrison, a five-year NBA veteran who stands 6-foot-4.
Now, the Lakers have brought in Nate Pierre-Louis, another 6-foot-4 backcourt player while releasing Bryce Hamilton, yet another guard they recently picked up.
The Lakers have signed guard Nate Pierre-Louis and requested waivers on guard Bryce Hamilton.

Pierre-Louis was a member of the South Bay Lakers last season, and he also participated in summer league play for the Purple and Gold a few months ago.
