Michael Beasley worked out for the Los Angeles Lakers in El Segundo on Wednesday.

Beasley is a free agent after playing last season with the Miami Heat.

The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent forward Wesley Johnson.

“I’m happy to welcome Wesley back to our team and am excited to see him develop further after taking such great strides last season,” said Mitch Kupchak. “Wesley possesses elite athleticism, and has the potential to develop into an excellent defender.”

A four-year NBA veteran, Johnson had his best professional season last year with the Lakers, averaging career-highs in points per game (9.1), rebounds (4.4), steals (1.1), blocks (1.0), field goal percentage (.425) and three-point field goal percentage (.369) while appearing in a team-high 79 games. 

The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a four-year contract with Byron Scott.

Scott was most recently head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Scott played for the Lakers during his playing career.

Carlos Boozer was introduced by the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

The Lakers were not optimistic about landing Boozer during the waiver claim process but did so with a $3.25 million bid.

Boozer heard the news from his agent.

"I was ecstatic and I was jumping up and down," Boozer said. "I went back out there and got two more hours in."

Boozer is penciled in as the Lakers' starting small forward, although he has played power forward throughout his 12-year NBA career.

Boozer said he believes he could play up to seven more seasons.

The Los Angeles Lakers have offered their head coaching job to Byron Scott.

Scott and the Lakers are negotiating a contract.

The Lakers have been without a head coach since parting ways with Mike D'Antoni.

The Los Angeles Lakers have still not hired a head coach and two sources disputed the notion that they are potentially waiting to see if Doc Rivers becomes available with the Donald Sterling situation dragging out.

Rivers would not be expected to remain head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers if the sale of the franchise to Steve Ballmer is overturned.

The Lakers haven't interviewed any candidates since free agency began with the exception of Byron Scott. The Lakers also have not currently scheduled any future interviews and Scott is considered the favorite.

The Milwaukee Bucks have been awarded the contract of guard Kendall Marshall on a waiver claim.

Marshall was waived by the Los Angeles Lakers on July 18.

Appearing in 54 games for the Lakers in 2013-14, Marshall, 22, averaged 8.0 points, 8.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per contest. In his best stretch of the season in January, he tallied at least 10 assists and scored at least 10 points in five consecutive games. He ranked fifth in the NBA in assist-to-turnover ratio (3.18) and shot a career-high 39.9 percent from the 3-point arc. Prior to being called up by the Lakers, Marshall appeared in seven games for the Delaware 87ers of the NBA D-League and averaged 19.4 points, 9.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds.

The Los Angeles Lakers will waive Kendall Marshall.

The Lakers have interest in re-signing Marshall if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Marshall played well in his minutes with the Lakers last season.

Xavier Henry has agreed upon a one-year, $1 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Henry played well for the Lakers before undergoing surgery for a torn ligament in his left wrist.

Henry was the 12th overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft by the Memphis Grizzlies.

Carlos Boozer has been acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers off amnesty waivers.

Nine teams had cap space to make a blind bid upon the remaining portion of Boozer's $16.8 million contract.

The Lakers won the bid of $3.25 million to acquire Boozer.

"We're very pleased to have won the bidding process and to have gained his rights, and look forward to his contributions next season," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said in a news release.
