Free agent guard Wesley Matthews has agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to The Athletic‘s Shams Charania.
The Lakers, who traded veteran guard Danny Green earlier this off-season to the Oklahoma City Thunder in order to acquire a much-needed playmaker in Dennis Schroder, have found a cheap and comparable replacement in Matthews. The 34-year-old was one of the Milwaukee Bucks‘ best perimeter defenders during the playoffs (especially against the Miami Heat‘s Jimmy Butler), and shot a lethal 39.5 per cent from downtown.
Los Angeles has managed to quickly shore up a championship roster quite well, and free agent big man Anthony Davis is expected to re-sign in the coming days.
