Russell has arguably put together his best season, and that's including his All-Star year in 2019. He's shooting better than ever and a solid playmaker. And Russell is only 27 and headed into his prime years.

Over the last two seasons, Beasley has become a three-point specialist. That's not necessarily the worst thing, but Beasley was becoming a pretty good all-around scorer. There's a good chance the Lakers pick up their option.

Walker has been a bust of a free agent signing for the Lakers. Enough so, that he fell out of the rotation. But it's not fully clear why. He's been efficient as a scorer. This is probably just a case of being a bad fit for player and team.

Hachimura hasn't been able to build on his solid 2022 season, but he's still a good rotation forward. He's been about equally as productive coming off the bench or starting, and that versatility should see him land with a playoff contender.

Schroder has adapted well to a bench scoring role. He's one of the better reserve guards in the league at the moment. Schroder can also start when necessary, but teams will view and pay him like a high-end backup.

Brown has had the best year of his career with the Lakers. He's shot it well and defended enough that's been a regular rotation player all season. Whether that's earned him more than another minimum deal remains to be seen.

Reaves has been a breakout player for the Lakers. He's much more than a shooter, as he can handle, pass and get himself to the line with regularity. He's a very interesting Arenas Provision guy for cap space teams to chase.

Thompson was signed on the final day of the regular season, mostly because he's tight with LeBron James. He didn't look great last season, and it's hard to imagine he has much left to offer as he approaches his mid-30s.

Pippen has done a nice job as a scorer in the G League. He's too quick and athletic for most defenders at that level. His shot, playmaking and defense are a work in progress. He'll be a Two-Way guy again.
