After the team waived Jose Calderon on Monday, the Los Angeles Lakers have an open roster spot. Here are five under the radar free agents they should consider.
The rumored Jose Calderon buyout was confirmed Monday and now the Lakers have an open roster spot. Now what?
Well, since their guard depth is paper thin right now, signing a young playmaker or defensive guard wouldn’t be a terrible start. Yes, Tyler Ennis just came on board, but even with Ennis, the Lakers are limited to only four guards.

So without further ado, here are five players the Lakers should consider to fill their vacant roster spot.
