Lakers News: JR Smith Comfortable Challenging LeBron James

The final addition to the Los Angeles Lakers roster before they traveled to Walt Disney World for the conclusion of this season was veteran guard JR Smith. With Avery Bradley opting not to join the team due to health concerns for his son, the Lakers turned to Smith, whom they had worked out previously.

There are some concerns for Smith as he has played just 11 games over the past two seasons and went un-signed throughout the entire 2020 season up to this point. But what Smith does bring is excellent shooting and championship experience as he has toed the front line next to LeBron James.
