Meechie Johnson

The Lakers waived guards Chase Ross and Meechie Johnson Jr. less than two weeks after signing them to Exhibit 10 deals. In their place, Los Angeles added forwards William Kyle III and Cole Swider on Exhibit 10 contracts of their own.

The Lakers signed guards Meechie Johnson and Chase Ross ahead of training camp, Lakers Nation's Trevor Lane reported. To make room, Los Angeles waived forward Anton Watson. The moves come days before Los Angeles opens its preseason slate against Sacramento.
