NBA Rumors: LA Lakers planning to replace Danny Green with Wesley Matthews

After a decent stint with the Milwaukee Bucks, veteran swingman Wesley Matthews is set to switch destinations this offseason, as per the latest NBA Rumors. According to Marc Stein of the New York Times, Matthews is currently being targeted by the LA Lakers, who are looking to replace the outgoing Danny Green.

Matthews is set to sign on a cheap deal and will be a huge help to the LA Lakers in terms of managing their cap space. The sharpshooter offers valuable wing play, and is adept at knocking down his threes and plays effective perimeter defense.
