Joining forces with superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis, as well as his former teammate D’Angelo Russell, Dinwiddie brings another dimension to the Lakers’ offense. His three-point shooting prowess adds much-needed spacing to the floor, providing additional scoring opportunities for the team’s stars.

Despite making no trades leading up to the signing, the Lakers have managed to acquire one of the most talented players available in the buyout market. With the team facing challenges due to injuries, including the absence of Jarred Vanderbilt, Lakers management recognized the need to bolster the roster for the remainder of the season.
