According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, Marcus Smart reached a buyout agreement with the Washington Wizards, planning to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers after passing a clarification period.

Kong Dexin, a reporter from Sports Weekly, posted an analysis: "Smart and the Wizards reached a buyout, joining the Lakers for 11 million in two years (a biennium exception), and the second year's player option. The Lakers need to clear about 4.2 million space to complete the signing. The contracts between Milton and Goodwin are non-guaranteed. (Ary said that the Lakers are still talking about transactions to clear the space, let's hear it for now.)

"After Ayton, the Lakers have attracted players through the buyout market. Smart, 31, has only played 54 games in two seasons since bidding farewell to the Celtics, and has lost a lot of attendance and form, but if he can recover his health, his defensive diversity can make up for the Lakers who have lost DFS. Marc Stein said Doncic recruited Smart and expressed his interest in joining the Lakers, which actually shows that Doncic stayed in the Lakers for a long time and did not have to worry about it. ”
