The Los Angeles Lakers shook up their roster this week. After not completing a deal prior to the NBA Trade Deadline, the team was expected to be players in the buyout market.
While they did not add anyone in the first wave of buyouts, the Lakers finally struck by signing Markieff Morris. The team was actively trying to acquire his twin brother, Marcus Morris, from the New York Knicks before the deadline, but the LA Clippers beat them out.
To make room for Morris on the roster, the Lakers needed to waive someone as they were at the maximum.
