In a heartbreaking development for Boston Celtics fans, the Los Angeles Lakers are signing Marcus Smart, per ESPN's Shams Charania.
The 11-year veteran has already secured a buyout from the Washington Wizards. While Charania reports that the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns were serious suitors for Smart, Luka Doncic successfully recruited him to wear the purple and gold.
The franchise residing in the nation's capital also agreed to buy out Blake Wesley, per Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. The former 25th overall pick converted on 37 percent of the threes he hoisted in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign.
