NBA veteran Marcus Smart has agreed to a contract buyout with the Washington Wizards and plans to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers after clearing waivers, according to ESPN.

Marcus Smart is heading out west. The veteran forward has agreed to a buyout of his contract by the Wizards, and he “intends” to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Lakers, ESPN’s Shams Charania first reported Saturday.

Among players who made 20-plus appearances, Okogie trailed only Dyson Daniels, Alex Caruso and Paul Reed in steals per 100 possessions ( 3.7, per NBA.com). His 4.8 deflections per 36 minutes were ninth-most among players who logged 500-plus minutes.

It would be in the Los Angeles Lakers' best interest to consider signing a contributor who previously competed with the franchise.
