The Lakers aren’t keeping all their marginal players.
Nick Young is re-signing, and Jordan Hill is also returning to Los Angeles.
But Kent Bazemore is headed East.
Marc Stein of ESPN:
ESPN sources say Kent Bazemore is headed to the Atlanta Hawks on a two-year, $4 million deal

Bazemore will compete with Kyle Korver, DeMarre Carroll, John Jenkins and the recently signed Thabo Sefolosha for minutes. There’s not an easy track to playing time in Atlanta.
But if Bazemore spends a lot of time on the bench, that would at least allow the rest of us to watch more of his signature sideline celebrations.
