The Los Angeles Lakers had a busy day back in Los Angeles on Monday, as LeBron James enjoyed his eggs benedict in the sunshine on Instagram. Two of LeBron’s Klutch Sports colleagues, Dion Waiters, and J.R. Smith, were in the Lakers practice facility for workouts on Monday, according to Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times.
Waiters was in for the first workout earlier today and he was reportedly “impressive,” according to at least one report. Waiters, a former client of Lakers president Rob Pelinka, would give the Lakers another ball-handler and a sturdy defender. The case for Smith, although he’s been away from the league for the better part of two seasons, is his track record of 3-point shooting alongside LeBron James.
In his four playoff runs with the Cavaliers, Smith shot 40.6% from the 3-point line on a total of 493 3-point attempts. If the Lakers sign him, the hope for them is that he can bring the same type of 3-point shooting he showed during Cleveland’s playoff runs to the Lake Show.
