"Please sell the team": Fans mock LA Lakers after franchise signs 7-foot center and Quincy Olivari 

The Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday added two more players to their roster for the upcoming NBA season. The franchise announced the signings of 7-foot center Kylor Kelley and 6-foot-3 guard Quincy Olivari. The 17-time NBA champions, however, didn't reveal the exact contract terms of both new signings.

According to The Athletic's Jovan Buha, Kelley was signed to an Exhibit-10 contract. According to Lakers Nation's Trevor Lane, Olivari too was signed to an Exhibit-10 contract.

Hoops fans on X quickly reacted to the Lakers securing Kelley and Olivari's services. Scores of Lakers faithful mocked Rob Pelinka and Co. for their latest offseason decision.

"As a fan now I have to be delusional bc how are we gonna be better if we keep signing straight G-League players instead of stars," a fan wrote.

"Dysfunctional family franchise. Please sell the team," one fan said.

Another X user underlined that signings like these are the reason why the Lakers haven't won more than one NBA title in the last decade:

"With the additions of an inexperienced podcaster coach, an undeserved draftee and now these two, the league best watch out," wrote another fan while taking a dig at the Lakers.

"DON'T POST UNTIL U MAKE REAL TRADES WE DON'T CARE ABOUT AI SIGNINGS," a seemingly furious fan said.
