Los Angeles Lakers make Markieff Morris, DeMarcus Cousins moves official

The Los Angeles Lakers have decided to shake up their roster a little bit. After not making a move prior to the NBA Trade Deadline, the organization has dipped into the buyout market to strengthen the roster.

After securing a buyout from the Detroit Pistons, the Lakers have agreed to a deal with veteran big man, Markieff Morris. After missing out on his twin brother, Marcus Morris, at the deadline, the team moved quickly to land Markieff.

Morris cleared waivers on Sunday. The team used the $1.75 million disabled player exception they received from DeMarcus Cousins being injured.
