On July 20, the NBA entered the offseason. Earlier today, according to famous reporter Shams, Marcus Smart reached a buyout with the Wizards, and he will join the Lakers with a two-year, $11 million contract, which has also attracted a lot of heated discussion and discussion.

According to additional reports, the Lakers can sign Smart using the full biennium special case, with a contract of $11 million for two years. They need to free up about $4.2 million to use this special case while staying below the first apron. In the current Lakers lineup, Milton and Goodwin (slightly guaranteed) contracts are not guaranteed.

After this news was exposed, Smart was quickly rushed to the top spot in the United States. US media quickly revealed the Lakers' potential starting lineup, namely: Doncic, Reeves, Smart, James, and Ayton. It is obvious that compared with the Lakers last season, this starting lineup has a stronger defense level, and is much more balanced from both offense and defense than last season.

In addition, the current list of the Lakers' lineup is as follows:

Potential starters: Smart, Reeves, Doncic, James, Ayton;

Potential bench players: Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Laravia, Thiero, Hayes, Vincent, Kneckett, and Brownie.

Smart is 31 years old this year and has played for the Celtics, Grizzlies and Wizards in his career. Among them, he played for 11 seasons with the Celtics and helped the Celtics reach the Finals in 2022, but failed to lose. Smart then traveled to Memphis and Washington, but did not perform well due to injuries. So far in his career, he has won DPOY once, was selected for the first team of the best team three times, and won the NBA Best Fight Award three times.
