The Los Angeles Lakers are fresh off a major roster move that saw them part ways with injury-plagued former All-NBA center DeMarcus Cousins, allowing them to acquire former Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris. However, they may not be done just yet with the buyout market, as shooting guard Dion Waiters — who has been linked to the team on multiple occasions — is reportedly expected to meet with Lakers officials next week.
As reported by SB Nation‘s Silver Screen and Roll, TNT sideline reporter Chris Haynes — who also writes for Yahoo Sports — provided the latest update on Waiters during the Lakers’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. According to Haynes, who cited unnamed league sources for his information, team officials are planning to meet with the 28-year-old guard on Monday, March 2.
