The Lakers agreed terms Matisse Thybulle on a short-term contract priced at just over a few million dollars. Thybulle turns into the most recent pickup to the squad, joining a shake-up that has pushed on through the quieter off-season stretch. Outfits gave up chasing him in free agency ages before this, which made the late pickup all the more striking. Front office staff now turn to other tasks, spanning filling open assistant GM roles that have hung empty through the off-season. Training camp hangs closer without those roles filled, leaving the sidet thin on admin support exactly when the campaign is about to crack open.
