The Los Angeles Lakers made their second post-trade deadline move by signing Dion Waiters for the remainder of the 2019-20 NBA season.
Los Angeles waived Troy Daniels on March 1 to make room and signed Waiters after a workout and meeting with general manager Rob Pelinka and others.
Waiters fills an immediate need as a player who can get his own shot when LeBron James isn’t in the game. And at 6’4″ and 215 pounds, Waiters should be able to defend some bench wings on other contending teams. With this signing and Markieff Morris, the Lakers filled two of their biggest needs.
