The Lakers reached agreements with four free agents Friday, including forwards Rui Hachimura, Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish plus guard Gabe Vincent.
Hachimura, a restricted free agent, agreed to a $51-million contract, which can be signed starting Tuesday. The 6-foot-8 forward, who is 25, averaged 9.6 points and 4.7 rebounds in 33 games with the Lakers. In 16 playoff games , he averaged 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and shot 55.7% from the field and 48.7% from three-point range.
Vincent, who helped the Miami Heat reach the NBA Finals this spring, will earn $33 million. The 6-3 guard started all 22 games in the playoffs for the Heat, shooting 37.8% on three-pointers on more than six attempts per game. He averaged 9.1 points and 2.5 assists while shooting 33.4% from deep during the regular season.Reddish, who is 6-8 and 23 years old, gives the team more size, depth and athleticism. Terms of his deal are not known. He averaged 11 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.
Prince became available when the Minnesota Timberwolves declined to guarantee his $7.4-million deal earlier this week. A 6-7 forward, he shot 38.1% from three-point range last season. The sides are still working on the details of the contract, which can’t be signed until Tuesday, but it’s expected the Lakers did not use any of their midlevel exception in the deal.
Prince, 29, has played seven seasons in the NBA and averaged 9.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 22 minutes a game last season. He shot 46.7% from the field and 84.4% from the free-throw line.
