5. Tomas Satoransky
Definitely the least impactful name on this list, the Los Angeles Lakers might have to settle for someone like Tomas Satoransky on the buyout market. As mentioned, the Lakers are not a premier buyout destination and it would not be surprising if the four players on this list all choose different teams with Satoransky being the last name remaining.
As we have seen with Stanley Johnson, a smaller-name player can have a decent impact on the team. That would be the hope with Satoransky, who has not done much of anything this season but has shown promise in the past.
Satoransky is only averaging 2.8 points per game as he was not utilized much in New Orleans. The prior four seasons combined the combo guard averaged 8.4 points in 25.3 minutes per game while shooting 37.4% from three.
He is not a sharpshooter by any means but he is someone who can hold his own as an off-ball scorer while also providing a decent defensive presence. Satoransky is an average defensive player with potential who could be groomed under Frank Vogel. He does not have the same defensive holes in his game that current Lakers have.
The Spurs acquired Satoransky as part of a bigger deal and it makes much more sense for the Spurs to buy him out rather than keep him. Satoransky is making $10 million this season.
