During his meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers, veteran shooting guard Dion Waiters owned up to his mistakes with the Miami Heat, according to Shams Charania of Stadium.

The Lakers hosted Waiters and JR Smith for workouts on Monday after waiving Troy Daniels on Sunday:

Waiters played in only three games for the Heat this season because of suspensions. He averaged 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 38.5 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from beyond the arc.

The Lakers need more perimeter help. While Waiters can no doubt score the ball, his off the court issues are well-documented and he could be a distraction in LA’s locker room.

Waiters will most likely have to convince Lakers superstar LeBron James he’s physically and mentally ready to be on a championship contender. James and Waiters were teammates on the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs wound up trading Waiters to the Oklahoma City Thunder in James’ first season back in Cleveland following his four-year run with Miami.

The Lakers are currently 46-13 on the season. They have the best record in the Western Conference. LA just added veteran small forward Markieff Morris after he got a buyout from the Detroit Pistons.

Dion Waiters, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft out of Syracuse, has career NBA averages of 13.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
