Los Angeles Lakers Offseason Update: Cole Swider Leaves NBA for Anadolu Efes
The Los Angeles Lakers have been relatively quiet in the NBA offseason, with their biggest move being the signing of Luka Doncic to a lucrative contract. They have also added new players like Jake LaRavia, Deandre Ayton, and Marcus Smart to the roster. However, the team news has slowed down recently.
Former Lakers player Cole Swider has decided to leave the NBA and join Anadolu Efes in Türkiye, as reported by NBA insider Marc Stein. Swider had a brief stint with the Lakers, playing in seven games during his rookie season. He will now look to revitalize his career overseas.
Swider's NBA career did not go as planned, but he showed promise during his time with the Toronto Raptors last season. It remains to be seen if the Lakers will make any more moves this offseason under the leadership of Rob Pelinka.
