Bogut played in 26 games with the Mavericks last season, averaging three points and eight rebounds before Dallas bought out his contract so he could join a contender. He then signed a contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers but broke his tibia in his first game.
Bogut’s addition gives the Lakers another rim protector and hard screen-setter, as well as a selfless big who does not need the ball to be effective. He was a valuable member of the 2015 Golden State Warriors team that defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers to win an NBA championship.
