Lakers Targeting Cam Thomas, Haywood Highsmith on Buyout Market

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add depth via the buyout market this year, and are eyeing former Brooklyn Nets' players Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith.

Thomas, a prolific scoring guard who never really fit with Brooklyn's system, has averaged 16 points per game this year. Highsmith, on the other hand, has earned himself a reputation of being a defense-first hustle player.

Both players make sense for the Lakers, who have hopes of making a deep run in the Western conference playoffs this year.
