While the Los Angeles Lakers have been tied to a number of notable free agents throughout the 2019-20 NBA season, they were finally able to make a splash with the addition of Dion Waiters via the buyout market, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
With Darren Collison opting to stay retired, the Lakers turned their attention to other options on the market such as Waiters, JR Smith, and Tyler Johnson. The aforementioned names made it clear the Lakers were looking for someone that could provide some quality depth in the backcourt on both ends of the floor.
