The team is reportedly finalizing a deal with big man Montrezl Harrell.
Free agent Montrezl Harrell has agreed to a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, agent Rich Paul of @KlutchSports tells ESPN.

Two years, $19M-plus for Harrell, Paul says. Lakers use mid-level exception on former Clippers center. https://t.co/LGgEkDaHN6

Harrell is 26 years of age and has played the past three seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.
This past season, he played a pivotal role for a team that was thought to be one of the favorites to win the NBA championship.
Harrell put up 18.6 points and 7.1 rebounds a game while shooting 58.0 percent from the field.
At 6-foot-8 and 240 pounds, Harrell would project to possibly be the Lakers’ new backup center, as well as give them more depth at the 4 spot.
His ability to rebound, run the floor and finish strong at the rim would help the Purple and Gold, as would his feistiness.
