With the Los Angeles Lakers’ preseason schedule complete, they can now get down to the business of preparing for their regular season opener, which is Tuesday versus the Golden State Warriors.
One task for every NBA team at this point of the year is making final cuts and trimming their roster.
The Lakers had several men who they brought in to compete for one final roster spot, and while some of them played hard, only one – forward Matt Ryan – really stood out in a positive way.
Therefore, the Lakers are waiving guards Shaquille Harrison and Nate Pierre-Louis and center Jay Huff.

Harrison has five years of NBA experience and had the ability to bring some defensive toughness and hustle, while Pierre-Louis went undrafted after three years of college ball at Temple University and spent last season with the South Bay Lakers.
Lakers fans may not like the fact that the team has let go of Huff. He has shown the ability to protect the rim and hit 3-pointers, especially during summer league play a few months ago.
