The Los Angeles Lakers need help if they are going to make any sort of run at the playoffs this season. The options for Los Angeles are limited, with Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn being the team’s only two trade assets.

That being said, the buyout market is around the corner and before that, the Lakers can take advantage of 10-day contracts. NBA teams can officially sign players to 10-day contracts starting January 5 and with an open roster spot, the Lakers have the means to do so.

One of the biggest holes on the roster is three-point shooting. And while the players currently available are not amazing options, there are some candidates to take a flier on to see if they can provide a jolt to the team’s three-point shooting.

Here are 3 sharpshooters the Los Angeles Lakers could sign to a 10-day contract.

1. Jeremy Lamb 

Jeremy Lamb is someone who has been tied to the Los Angeles Lakers in the past. He was connected to the Lakers via trade rumors when he was a member of the Indiana Pacers last season and it seemed like the Lakers may sign him this past summer when he became a free agent.

Los Angeles did not do that and neither did any other team in the league. Lamb has been waiting for the call and with the 10-day contract window soon opening, he should find himself back in the league in some capacity.

Because of the previous interest, this seems like the most logical 10-day contract signing for LA. While Lamb had a down year shooting the basketball last season, he shot 40.6% from beyond the arc in 3.6 attempts per game the year prior.

With virtually no shooting on the roster, it makes plenty of sense to take a chance on Lamb’s shooting ceiling with a 10-day contract.
