Deng enters his second season with the Lakers after spending time with the Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavilers, and Miami Heat. Deng signed a large contract along with Timofey Mozgov in a last effort attempt to improve the team sooner rather than later.
It looks as if Deng will serve in more of a mentorship role for both Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma. Los Angeles looks to improve on a subpar season a year ago.
