This move is, of course, closely related to the last move. Still, no matter what happens with Westbrook, signing a veteran point guard would be a good decision for this team.

If they trade Westbrook for another point guard, having a third-string insurance policy for the oft-injured Nunn would be sensible. If they trade Westbrook for a player at a different position, Nunn may be starting. In that event, they’ll need a new backup floor general.

Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Nunn is averaging a mere 3.0 assists per game over his career. Are we completely sure he’s not an undersized off-guard? In any event, it’s hard to feel confident that he’s the be-all, end-all solution for the Lakers.
