Marcus Smart

Lakers insider Jovan Buha said on The Third Apron podcast that Marcus Smart appeared ready to leave Los Angeles even before free agency opened.

Marcus Smart has agreed to a two-year, $12.4 million deal with Houston, below the $13 million first reported, with a player option for year two, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. He reunites with Ime Udoka, his former Celtics coach now running the Rockets backcourt.

The Lakers have signed Marcus Smart to a multi-year contract. No terms disclosed.
