As we get closer to the playoffs, most Lakers rumors have been about who they were going to be signing with their open roster spot.
Recently, the Lakers decided to waive Troy Daniels before the March 1st deadline in order to create an open roster spot. The Lakers also did Daniels a solid by letting him go early, so he could sign with a playoff team and be eligible.
The past few days, the Lakers worked out Dion Waiters and J.R. Smith. After Darren Collison decided that he was going to be staying retired, these two players were the front-runners to be signed by the Lakers.
