The Lakers will waive center DeAndre Jordan and sign veteran point guard D.J. Augustin, who could provide them with a perimeter shooting threat.
, waiving center DeAndre Jordan to clear the necessary roster spot, a person with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly told the The Times.
Augustin, 34, last played for Houston, which waived him Feb. 10. He averaged 5.4 points and 2.2 assists in 34 games with the Rockets. In his career with 10 teams, Augustin has been a proven long-range shooter, making 38% from three-point range. The Lakers, in a miserable slump from the perimeter, valued the shooting over Jordan’s size coming off their bench.
Signed before the season, Jordan started the first six games before falling entirely out of the rotation by Christmas.
