Lakers are also looking at 28-year-old shooting guard Dion Waiters as a potential late-season addition to their already formidable squad.

But the Lakers will not be meeting with Waiters until March 2.

Players must be waived by March 1 to be playoff eligible if they then join a new team. The Lakers want to see the full market available to them before making a final decision. They know Waiters isn’t going anywhere else at this point, and even if another team did swoop in, it’s not like it would be some big loss.
