Lakers Expected To Sign J.R. Smith Once He Become Free Agent J.R. Smith is expected to become a free agent this offseason. The Cleveland Cavaliers are attempting to trade the contract of Smith that is partially guaranteed. "When he's waived, it is my belief he will end up with the Lakers," said Chris Haynes.
