Okereke could be squeezed off Lakers' two-way roster before camp

AK Okereke signed a Lakers two-way deal after going undrafted, but LakeShowLife's Svyatoslav Rovenchuk predicts he'll be cut before opening night. The reasoning ties back to Memphis, where Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer expects the Grizzlies to waive several players to get under the roster limit.

Rovenchuk figures the Lakers could grab one of those names, like Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins, Kris Murray or Walter Clayton Jr., and drop Okereke to make room.
