Matthews, 34, started 67 games for the Milwaukee Bucks last season.
The move could signal that the Lakers will not bring back guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, as he is expected to have other suitors this offseason.
Matthews also could be a replacement for Danny Green, who was traded for Dennis Schroder this offseason.
Matthews is a sharpshooter, as he finished last year shooting 36.4 percent from 3-point range. He is a 38.1 percent shooter from beyond the arc in his career.
The veteran averaged 7.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game for the Bucks last season.
