Smart is expected to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Lakers, prompting the team to waive two players to clear cap space for the former Defensive Player of the Year.

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to need to free some cap space to complete the reported signing of veteran guard Marcus Smart.

Charania reported Saturday that Smart was joining the Lakers on a two-year, $11 million deal after agreeing to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards.
