The Lakers will sign Marcus Smart to a two-year, $11 million deal after he clears waivers following his contract buyout with the Washington Wizards, a source confirmed to the Southern California News Group on Saturday afternoon.
Smart, the 2022 Defensive Player of the Year and a three-time All-Defense first-team member, will have a player option for the 2026-27 season, allowing him to become a free agent next offseason if he chooses to.
His buyout with the Wizards was first reported by ESPN on Saturday.
