Report: Andrew Bogut to sign with Lakers, out as possible Celtics 15th man

According to a report from the Vertical’s Shams Charania, Andrew Bogut has agreed to a one-year, $2.3 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

For Bogut, several factors led to a commitment to the Lakers: reuniting with Lakers head coach Luke Walton; team upgrades in the offseason with rookies such as Lonzo Ball and Kyle Kuzma and free-agent signee Kentavious Caldwell-Pope; positional need as the franchise searched for an additional big man; and adding championship experience to a developing roster under president of basketball operations Magic Johnson.
