Earlier in the 2023 NBA offseason, the Lakers rumors in the front office surrounded their desire to play two bigs alongside LeBron James in Darvin Ham’s starting lineup, a formula that won them the 2020 NBA title. Rob Pelinka added Jaxson Hayes in the first few hours of 2023 NBA free agency, and kept a roster spot open in case someone like Wood was going to be available. Wood was the top player remaining in NBA free agency, and completes the Lakers’ roster heading into the 2023-24 NBA season.

Smart. ……………make him earn a contract play some defense, if it don't work out be easy to get rid of him. Glad we got rid of him in Detroit
Shocked
All I gotta say is PELINKA!!!!
Finally!!!!
Attack!
Why do thy keep calling him a big, he's 220…
I liked and subscribed. I’m here for all the good content bro ✊🏾
So it will be like this…
C. Wood
A. Davis
R. Hachimura
A. Reeves
L. James / D. Russell
Ship!
Did not realize he is a decent three point shooter. Will be one of the best three point shooters on the team at this point. Nice pick up!
With the Lakeshow he can resuscitate his career and be the apple of GMs' eyes after his contract with the Purple and Gold,hopefully!
He'll probably get a shitload of playing time, especially backing up for AD.
Good vibes 💛💜LA X18 🏆 on the way
Congrats wood way to go Lakers
