This is a great pickup for the Lakers, as Smart is a defensive specialist. This includes his 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year Award.

Fans quickly took to social media to give their thoughts after the signing.

Most fans were in agreement that Smart is a great pickup for the Lakers. They also agreed that it would take some time getting used to seeing the former Boston Celtic in a Lakers jersey.

Still, signing Smart will certainly help the Lakers for the upcoming season.
