Lakers Reportedly Eyeing Another Former Celtic After Marcus Smart Signing Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Tuesday signed an executive order to elimiate smoking on the Chicago Transit Authority system. Smoking is already banned on the CTA, and a group of Chicago alderpeople last month called for enforcement of the ban.

"The Lakers have a couple of paths they can head down. One, the Lakers would prefer to complete some type of a consolidation trade, where they send out an expiring contract and Dalton Knecht, and they bring in a player that they are more confident will help them this year and continue on without having to waive Jordan Goodwin,” he said.

New Los Angeles Lakers guard Marcus Smart reportedly gave back $6.8 million in his buyout with the Washington Wizards.
