Should the Lakers Bring Back The Mitten?

Is it time for the LakeShow to give Gary Payton II—aka The Mitten—another shot? After proving his worth as a defensive spark plug with the Warriors, Payton’s still unsigned for 2025-26. With the Dubs and Lakers always battling for Western Conference supremacy, imagine the rivalry if Rob Pelinka swoops in for this ex-hidden gem. Payton’s energy and defense could be the edge LA needs. Would you want him back in purple and gold, or should the Warriors keep their secret weapon? #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
