Perkins: The Lakers haven t had a defender like Smart for a long time. This signing is great

ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania reported that Marcus Smart reached a buyout agreement with the Washington Wizards, planning to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers after passing a clarification period.

Today Perkins talked about the signing on the show, and Perkins said: "This is a great signing for the Lakers. You see, the Lakers haven't had an outside defender like Smart for a long time. The last time there was a defender of this level was Caruso. I know, we haven't seen the best version of Smart in the past two seasons, but we have to be honest, that's because he has no goals to fight for in recent years."

"Now he's back in a team with hopes for championships, and at the age of 31 to fight for real goals, Smart will show his best version."
