The Lakers' roster construction effort has seen the team acquire Marcus Smart out of free agency. As positive as this would be for the team, the process of completing this move would require the Purple and Gold to take some additional steps.

The Lakers have reportedly waived guards Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin in order to be able to sign Marcus Smart once Smart clears waivers.

Marcus Smart, former Defensive Player of the Year and a 3-time All-Defensive First Team honoree, reportedly plans to join Los Angeles.
