Trey Johnson, Andrew Naymick waived

LOS ANGELES -- With less than a week remaining before the start of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers made some final roster adjustments to a team beginning its quest for a three-peat championship.

The team announced Thursday it has requested waivers on guard Trey Johnson and center Andrew Naymick.

Johnson and Naymick played sparingly in the Lakers first six preseason games but provided backcourt- and big-man depth during training camp as starters Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum recovered from offseason knee surgeries.

Johnson, who once played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and is a former D-League All-Star, averaged 2.8 points and 1.2 assists in 8.8 minutes in five preseason games with the Lakers. Naymick, a college teammate of Lakers guard Shannon Brown at Michigan State University, collected two rebounds in 16 minutes of play during the preseason.

The Lakers' roster now stands at 14 players. Los Angeles has two preseason games remaining on Thursday and Friday against the Golden State Warriors before tipping off the season on Oct. 26 at home against the Houston Rockets.
