Smart to Lakers: Payton II’s Next Move?

Laker Nation just landed Marcus Smart, the 2022 DPOY, on a two-year deal—leaving Dub fans wondering what’s next for The Mitten, Gary Payton II. With Melton likely heading back to the Bay and Smart locking down L.A.’s perimeter, Payton’s options seem to be shrinking fast. Will he return to Golden State, or is a new chapter on the horizon? This move could shake up the whole West guard rotation! #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
