Still trying to find someone to replace Pau Gasol, the Lakers agreed to terms Thursday with Timofey Mozgov on a four-year, $64-million deal. Huertas, 33, showed some promise with crafty passing in his first NBA season after several years of international play. The Lakers moved quickly, reaching agreement with Mozgov within 45 minutes of the start of the free-agent period. The Mozgov deal leaves the Lakers with about $40 million to spend toward next season’s payroll. Clarkson, 24, can also merely accept his one-year qualifying deal of $2.7 million next season with the Lakers and become an unrestricted free agent in 2017.
