As training camp approaches, the Lakers plan to exploit every opportunity. The franchise has just recruited a player, probably to test him in the coming weeks. A former Rocket, who will be keen to succeed.
Very active since the start of the market, the Lakers hit hard with the arrival of Russell Westbrook. An impressive Big 3 has formed in the City of Angels, although no one yet knows if the results will be there. There are unknowns, especially because of the triple-double man, who will have to guarantee an outside contribution.
While waiting for the rest, with a training camp that should do a lot of good, the front office has not yet finished its work. We learned this Thursday night of a new signing, a free agent who played for the Rockets last season.
Cam Oliver is signing an Exhibit 10 deal with the Lakers, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA.
The 25-year-old wing played four games with the Houston Rockets last season. He went undrafted in 2017.

Cam Oliver signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Lakers. The 25-year-old played 4 games for the Rockets last year. He was undrafted in 2017.
An Exhibit 10 as a reminder is a guaranteed invitation to the next training camp, with a place in the possible roster. If he is not kept, he can take a bonus of $ 50,000 to go to the G-League. A way to guarantee a little money for a player, who will also have the possibility of landing a two-way deal, at least if the Angelinos are seduced.
Cameron Oliver is 10.8 points and 5.3 rebounds on average in 4 games in Houston last year. A small sample, but some interesting benefits. The Lakers are asking to see more.

New signing at the Lakers, with Cameron Oliver hoping to impress people at training camp. It’s up to him to make his talent speak, at least to stay in the G-League afterwards.
