[Black Adam]

look out, we're UNSTOPPABLE...

good for the NBA minimum, though...

Man, what happened to Nick Young? Dude had so much promise, so much potential.......it's like he fell off a cliff, I didn't even know he was still in the league

Dude KILLED my Longhorns in college.......he was a beast.

I remember. think it was KD's last year there...and the closest sniff the Trojans had at getting to the final four that I can remember. I feel your pain...

 

[shitsho]

Didn't he play for Philly last season?

Didn't he play for Philly last season?

actually I believe so. looking for the story on it...


just heard about the signing on ESPN...

 

[Black Adam]

Nick Young will sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, announced Thursday.
Young, 28, spent last season with the Philadelphia 76ers, averaging 10.6 points and 23.9 minutes a game.
The free-agent guard signed a one-year deal at the veteran's minimum with the Lakers, according to USA Today.



that's all I got off the ESPN sight, and ESPN radio's saying it's a done deal...

I actually like him. He's got heart but erratic. Interesting addition.

yeah, it'll be interesting which position they play him at. the 2, or kind of a short 3...

At this point I would be happy with any player that's not old enough to have grandchildren. First they pulled Jordan Farmar out of the Euro league and now this.

a far as I know they're STILL trying to finalize the Farmar deal, though. plus i'm listening to the scuttlebutt on ESPN right now on whether or not they go after Lamar Odom...

that one i'm not so sure of...

 

[Black Adam]

still, not a bad job so far for a team to get players while "all capped out"...

 

[lakersrule]

Good signing considering the Lakers can only offer minimum contracts. NY will provide offense, though a little erratic at times as Montsho mentioned. Should be a good fit in MDA's offense. Any other LA boys out there to sign?

the two we should of signed are down the hall

 

[LAKERSUSCBAM]

looks like Young is it as a true SF....Ebanks is not being resigned either. Still hope they keep Metta but if he's out maybe LO will want to come back. Let's see if any one player has shot on the summer league squad. Douglas-Roberts made it to camp but teetered out.

KD only had one year at UT. The year after Aldridge bolted after only one year. Imagine those two on same college team. Yikes

those 2 on the floor together would've been beyond trouble...

Take Kobe off the Lakers and their roster would be comparable to the Raptors.

Nah, he was in Philly!! So kinda the same thing!!

Seriously though, seems like a good fit for D'Antoni's system, it's a 1 year deal and he wants to be here!! Maybe in D'Antoni's system he'll realize more of his potential!!
