The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to sign De'Anthony Melton in free agency. Melton signed a one-year, $12.8 million deal with the Golden State Warriors last offseason, but he suffered an early season partially torn ACL.

"I haven't heard of anything new. We're still expecting him to eventually sign with the Lakers."

Melton appeared in six games with the Warriors, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 20.2 minutes while shooting 37.1 percent on three-pointers.

He'll be a solid addition if he's healthy - we only need him for 10-15 minutes a night and will be competing with Jordan Goodwin for backup minutes.

I think melton starts and Rui comes off the bench. his 2 way play is that valuable for a team that plays reaves lebron and luka for over 30 minutes a night.
