JR Smith

He hit a big three late that gave the Lakers a chance to get back in the game and steal a win, but it wasn't meant to be. He'll join Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Kyle Kuzma to help the Lakers have 3-point options while LeBron and Anthony Davis work on the inside. 

"His nickname is 'Swish' for a reason," Vogel said of Smith. "He's a big-time shot maker and he looks like he's in terrific physical condition." Smith will join Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as the primary deep threats for the Lakers and both players will also focus on defense in the absence of Avery Bradley in Orlando. And on a side note, Mike Trudell reports that the Lakers were 17-3 this season in games where KCP started for Bradley. 

This was an expected move that has now been finalized. Smith takes the roster spot vacated by Avery Bradley, who opted not to play in Orlando, but it remains to be seen if he's in the Lakers' rotation. More likely than not, L.A. will replace Bradley's 24.2 minutes per game with more Alex Caruso, Rajon Rondo, and maybe Dion Waiters.

This was inevitable since Avery Bradley opted out of the Orlando restart, as the Lakers have been in talks with Smith since then. Now 34 years old, Smith last season in the NBA (2018-19) was a bit disappointing with the SG hitting just 34.2% from the field and 30.8% from deep for 6.7 points per game. There's no guarantee he has a rotation spot, especially with Alex Caruso next in line for more minutes.
