The Los Angeles Lakers are bringing in a new addition to shake up their roster depth.
Per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, LA will be promoting South Bay Lakers affiliate player Drew Timme to a two-way deal.
The Lakers are in the process of finalizing a two-way contract with Drew Timme, league sources told @ClutchPoints.
LA won’t be cutting Nick Smith Jr., so they will need to waive either Christian Koloko or Chris Manon to sign Timme.

Timme, whose most recent NBA experience was logged with the Brooklyn Nets last year, will have to replace one of LA’s current two-way players, as all three of those slots on the roster are occupied at present. With guard Nick Smith Jr. already showing major NBA-caliber promise, Siegel suggests that it’s more likely center Christian Koloko or shooting guard Chris Manon will be signed.
