Lakers agree to two-year deal with Jordan Hill

The Lakers appear to have found their starting center, agreeing to terms Friday with free agent Jordan Hill.

Hill will re-sign with the Lakers for two years and $18 million. The second season is a team option, helping to give the Lakers the chance to preserve cap room for next summer if needed.

Hill, who will be 27 on July 27, averaged 9.7 points and 7.4 rebounds a game for the Lakers last season in 72 games.
