The Los Angeles Lakers signed former Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, who was being pursued by multiple teams that did not include the Detroit Pistons.
Smart was bought out by the Wizards before signing a two-year deal with LA for $11 million, which could be a bargain if he is healthy, a big if considering he’s only played 54 games in the last two seasons.
There has been plenty of discussion about the Pistons’ backup point guard situation, as right now they don’t really have one after losing Dennis Schroder in free agency.
