Not long after the Lakers released Kendall Marshall to clear up some cap space, the Milwaukee Bucks went ahead and claimed the point guard off waivers before he could become a free agent. Per ESPN’s Marc Stein:
ESPN sources say Bucks will be clamining Kendall Marshall off waivers as soon as possible, foiling Lakers’ plans of re-signing @KButter5

In any event: Lakers had to waive Kendall Marshall to gain every inch of cap space they could & hoped to re-sign him had he cleared waivers

But Bucks are looking for passers and backcourt upgrades and will soon add KMarshall as newest guard alongside recent signed Jarryd Bayless
