From Laker Nation about Cole Swider:

”This move doesn’t come as a huge surprise as Swider will be going into his second season and doesn’t have a ton of room for more development at 24 years of age.

Swider is an outstanding 3-pointer shooter and has shown that throughout his career, whether it be in college at Villanova and Syracuse, in his two Summer Leagues with the Lakers, or in the G League with the South Bay Lakers last season.

The forward does not provide much else though as he has struggled on the defensive end, which ultimately is the reason the Lakers are deciding to move on.

It will be interesting to see if Swider is able to find another roster spot in the NBA, whether it be a two-way contract or standard roster spot. If not then it is possible he returns to South Bay for a second season in the G League if he doesn’t go overseas to play professionally”

I was kind of surprised that Laker Nation has the opinion that Cole does not provide much more than 3 pt shooting ability Especially after averaging close 17 pts per game last year and 15 ppl in the summer leagues.  His second year contract was not guaranteed.  Turns out Scottie Pippen, Jr second year contract is also not guaranteed.  Guess this is standard for signing a two year, two way contract with the LA Lakers.
