Free-agent guard Aaron McKie, waived by the Philadelphia 76ers earlier this month, has agreed to terms on a two-year, $5 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
McKie has averaged 7.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 11 seasons with Portland, Detroit and Philadelphia. He scored 4,143 points in seven-plus seasons with the 76ers, and won the 2001 Sixth Man of the Year award when he helped the Sixers reach the NBA Finals, where they lost to the Lakers in five games.
Phil Jackson, returning next season as coach of the Lakers after taking a year off, likes big guards, and the 6-foot-5 McKie fills that bill.
