In what has been an uneventful first five hours of free agency for the Golden State Warriors, free agent Kent Bazemore has agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, per the Athletic’s Shams Charania.

The initial news came as somewhat of a shock to many in the Warriors Twittersphere as the beloved two-time Warrior decided to take his talents to the cross state rivals. The move upset many Golden State supporters.

Also, somewhat shocking was the follow-up report from Charania stating that Bazemore actually turned down more money and an extra year from the Warriors. Apparently Bazemore felt he would have a larger role and a chance to win a championship with the Lakers.

Bazemore finished his 2020-2021 campaign with Golden State playing in a total of 67 games while averaging 7.2ppg and shooting a career high 40.8% clip from the three-point line.
