In desperate need of shooters, the L.A. Lakers knew they had to follow up the Westbrook signing with some veteran sharpshooters.

After signing Trevor Ariza and Wayne Ellington, they brought in notorious marksman Kent Bazemore to fill out their roster.

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, it’s on a one-year deal.

Bazemore won’t play a huge role for the Lakers, but he’ll be a valuable addition on the wing next to Lebron James and Anthony Davis.

Last season, he averaged 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game on 44.9% shooting.
