The Los Angeles Lakers put more pieces of their revamped roster together on Saturday, agreeing to a one-year deal with free-agent center DeMarcus Cousins and bringing back point guard Rajon Rondo.
If Cousins can stay injury free, he could join with Davis — whose trade acquisition became official on Saturday — and LeBron James to give the Lakers the big three they have been seeking. The Lakers had hoped the third would be Kawhi Leonard, but he chose to play with the Los Angeles Clippers instead.
He was credited for providing veteran leadership as a tumultuous season wore on with the Lakers last season, but injuries limited him to 46 games . The 33-year-old, who is entering his 14th NBA season, averaged 9.2 points, 8.0 assists and 5.3 rebounds last season. Caldwell-Pope, 26, played the past two seasons with the Lakers after four years in Detroit and averaged 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 24.8 minutes while appearing in all 82 games last season.McGee, 31, is coming off his first year in Los Angeles and gives the Lakers a veteran presence to work alongside Davis. McGee averaged a career-best 12.0 points to go with 7.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in just 22.3 minutes per game last season. He started 62 of the 75 games he played in.Caruso, 25, averaged 9.
