Report: Lakers, Lance Stephenson Agree to Contract After LeBron Decision

Lance Stephenson has agreed to a deal to join the Los Angeles Lakers just hours after the team landed LeBron James, according to Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports.

The deal is reportedly for one year and worth $4.5 million, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes.

Stephenson was a free agent after the Pacers declined the team option on his contract for the 2018-19 season. He was slated to make $4.3 million.

The James agreed to a four-year deal worth $153.3 million after his agency Klutch Sports Group announced the deal on Sunday night.

Stephenson and James are no strangers to each other.
