Bucks Will Claim Kendall Marshall Off Waivers
The Los Angeles Lakers put point guard Kendall Marshall on waivers only hoping to re-sign him if he cleared, but the Milwaukee Bucks will claim him, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein.
Marshall averaged 8 points and 8.8 assists in 54 games with the Lakers last season.
But Bucks are looking for passers and backcourt upgrades and will soon add KMarshall as newest guard alongside recent signed Jarryd Bayless

Marshall is a high-IQ passer and had a chance to put his ability on display with the Lakers. Jason Kidd working with him could be interesting, and with no. 2 overall pick Jabari Parker and the “Greek freak” on hand, the Bucks could actually be interesting.
The Lakers signed Jeremy Lin and without Marshall, he and Steve Nash are now the only two point guards on the roster. Things aren’t as promising overall in Laker Land.
