21yo Kostas Antetokounmpo, younger brother to Giannis was waived by the Mavericks and after he cleared waivers, he was claimed by the Lakers who won his contract...

https://sports.yahoo.com/lakers-ante...ugLeT58Qmz4k62

According to the CBA, after a player clears waivers, his contract can be claimed by any other NBA team but the team that has priority in adding him, is the one with the worst record...

Therefore Kostas ended to the Lakers after they claimed his contract!

As a Mavericks fan, I can assure you that Kostas is garbage.

Thread is not news worthy. Pick up your game or else.

He will be in the G-League if he stays on the roster

He might be a good player down the road in a couple of years. This acquisition means the Lakers are looking for players to develop for the future which is always a smart thing to do. The question of the day is can he become a good player and will he and can the Lakers develop him. Seems like to me most of the players the Lakers pick up end up having a career in the NBA. Only time will tell

Lakers signing him to a two way contract like they did Alex Caruso - so in a year or two, we will see if it pays off. Unlikely that he turns out to be anything better than a role player if that.

That's the contract they inherit from the Mavs; he was a two way contract for them as well. Picking up off waivers continues the previous contract.

Meh. He's a project. If he turns into something, great.

If he doesn't, nothing lost.

Not sure why this needed a thread.

How can I be the first one to point out that the Lakers got him for only one reason, to try to get his brother there in 2021

Come on guys you're slipping

As we speak, Kostas is with his brothers Giannis and Thanasis on a plane to Greece, so that they will join the training camp of the National team on the 24th of July, in order to prepare with the Greek team for the FIBA world cup... On the same plane is their friend Tyler Dorsey too...

Interesting that Kostas was waived just in time so that waivers would clear the last day before his scheduled trip to Greece... coincidence?

Are you picking them up from the airport?

It means that he will be restricted free agent next season... Unless he receives a Q.O for a regular contract this season and accepts it... (which I very much doubt he will)... Eventually, Kostas will end up with the Bucks later in this or in the next season... (but I guess we all knew that in the first place)...

I remember the Dayton Flyers had Andre Iguadala's younger brother Frank Iguadala.

And then they had Giannis' little brother Kostas....

like...kind of funny.....
