Hayes, the No. 62 free agent on CBS Sports' board, played in 56 games and started 35. In those appearances, Hayes averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game. However, Hayes' playing time diminished a bit in the playoffs, and he did not play at all in Game 5 of the team's first-round series loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

It's Hayes's third-straight one-year deal with the Lakers, which means he's got an interesting provision in his contract.
