The Lakers signed free-agent guard Avery Bradley to a two-year deal for $9.7 million after he cleared waivers Monday, his agent, Bill Duffy of BDA Sports, told The Times.

The deal takes up much of Los Angeles' remaining cap space, although Bradley is an excellent two-way guard. During his time in Boston, Bradley was named to the NBA’s all-defensive team, and the 28-year-old has averaged 12.0 points per game during his nine years in the league.
