Here’s what people were saying about the news:
StatMuse: “Matisse Thybulle: — 1st in STL/MIN among active players — 1st in SPG among active bench players — 5th in SPG among active players — 3rd in 4Q STL in the 2020s He’s a Laker.”
Keith Smith: “If Matisse Thybulle’s contact is fully guaranteed (which is most likely), the Lakers will have 16 fully guaranteed standard contracts on their books. That means they’ll need to waive or trade at least one fully guaranteed player. Thybulle will hit the cap at the veteran minimum amount of $2.5M for this season.”
