ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania reported that 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.

Shams talked about the signing on the show today. Shams said: "Smart wants to return to championship mode. In his first nine seasons in the NBA, he has been playing for the Celtics, the Lakers' arch-rival team, and has made it to the playoffs for nine consecutive years and has been in the playoffs many times. However, he has not made it to the playoffs in the past two years. It is reported that he has been working hard to train and improve his physical condition this offseason, hoping to return to his peak state when he won the Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2022."
