The Lakers, looking to bulk up their roster ahead of the postseason, are reportedly considering adding one of LeBron James's former teammates: J.R. Smith.
According to Stadium's Shams Charania, Smith will work out for the Lakers "early this week."
Smith hasn't played in a game since November 2018, when the Cavaliers announced he would no longer be with the team. The free-agent guard and the Cavaliers had been at odds for months, but the team decided to send him home after he accused them of tanking. Cleveland attempted to trade Smith and later waived him the following July.
