The Los Angeles Lakers and free-agent center Timofey Mozgov have reached a verbal agreement on a four-year deal worth $64 million, a source told ESPN.
The deal was first reported by The Vertical.
The Cavaliers traded two first-round picks to the Denver Nuggets for Mozgov in January 2015.
His two seasons with Cleveland were relative opposites.
In 2014-15, the 7-foot-1 center averaged 10.6 points and 6.9 rebounds in 46 games. He started all 20 games during the postseason as Cleveland lost to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals.
This past season, Mozgov saw his role significantly reduced. He averaged 6.3 points and 4.4 rebounds during the regular season and just 1.2 points in 5.8 minutes during the postseason, one that saw him play a combined 25 minutes in the Cavs' seven-game series win over the Warriors.
Mozgov turns 30 on July 16.

Rightfully so, there's no logical reason to bring Pau back. Especially under D'Antoni again. I don't even think $16m per is all that outrageous. It's a new day in the NBA![]()



...And Simmons contract is guaranteed
