The Lakers have signed free-agent guard Smush Parker to their summer-league team, Ross Siler of the L.A. Daily News is reporting.

Parker played in 16 games for the Detroit Pistons and Phoenix Suns last season, averaging 3.0 points and 0.9 assists. He played in 66 games for Cleveland in the 2002-03 season, then spent the following year in Greece.

The Lakers are seeking another ball-handling guard, and Parker could compete for the job in training camp come October.

The Summer Pro League begins Friday in Long Beach and runs for 13 days. The Lakers' team will feature 17-year-old center Andrew Bynum as well as guard Sasha Vujacic, last year's first-round draft pick.
