The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

Stevenson is more than just an undefeated titlist, after all. He’s regarded as one of the most talented fighters on the planet. Highly skilled and at times enthralling, the product of Newark, New Jersey, is good – very good – perhaps too good for his own good.
