According to Shars Charania, a well-known NBA reporter, former DPOY Marcus Smart has reached a buyout agreement with the Washington Wizards. After the clarification period, the defensive expert is expected to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers. Smart's joining will undoubtedly greatly improve the depth of the Purple and Gold Legion's backcourt and defensive resilience!
