Lakers consider signing Kris Murray as roster cuts approach

The Los Angeles Lakers are poised to make a roster decision as the 2026-27 NBA season approaches. With Dalton Knecht and Jaden Hardy as potential final cuts, the Lakers are urged to sign Kris Murray, a 6'8" wing currently with the Memphis Grizzlies. Murray is reportedly a candidate to be waived after training camp as the Grizzlies need to trim their roster. NBA insider Brett Siegel noted his likelihood of being cut due to the team's depth at his position. Should Murray become available, the Lakers could sign him to either a standard or two-way deal, depending on which of Knecht or Hardy they decide to release. Murray’s addition would provide the Lakers with a sizeable player who can compete for minutes on the wing, though concerns about his shooting efficiency remain a factor.
