Marcus Smart to the Lakers: How will the veteran guard fit with Luka Dončić and LeBron James?

In a twist that will bring smiles to the faces of Lakers fans, former Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart plans to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with Los Angeles, bringing depth to a Lakers team that needs it.

Smart, 31, spent nine years with the Boston Celtics carving out a name for himself as one of the league's best, and most physical, defenders.

After a disappointing 39-game stint with the Memphis Grizzlies, Smart was acquired at the trade deadline by the Washington Wizards, who have reportedly agreed to a contract buyout. The point guard was scheduled to make over $21 million for the club this season.
