Waiters is a fierce competitor who can shoot 34.8% from beyond the three-point line. He can create his shots and provide valuable assistance to the team off the bench. Furthermore, he can also be a decent playmaker, moving the ball around well.

However, Waiters' off-court incidents and disciplinary actions forced him out of Miami and then from Memphis, so the Lakers will have to make a tough decision with him. They have a well-formed lineup this year that has been playing as a unit. A wrong move by the franchise can cause distress among the players.

The Lakers still have another workout scheduled with JR Smith, and it would be interesting to see what the team management decides.
