that's a steal of a deal, good signing

[Fudge]

:bowdown:

KING EDWARD

[Droid101]

Championship cruise.

[TOUCH MY BODY]

Excellent signing.

[Fudge]

Dude is making how much I'm making every year. Damn.

I remember when he was on Toronto, thought he'd be huge. I could see him breaking out in LA doe.

[AboutBuckets]

Great signing, a lot of teams in the league could use him especially at that price

[andremiller07]

2mil for Davis talent/potential is nothing great signing

[Jameerthefear]

B-b-b-but big name free agents come to LA :roll: :roll: "We're going to get Love!"
:roll:

[Legends66NBA7]

He plays similar to Randle. Probably comes off the bench.

Glad to see he'll still be in the league.

[Levity]

Love this pick up. fills that bench big were looking for. the potential is still there for him, and he'll be getting more consistent minutes than he was with memphis

[Lord Bean]

If only the Lakers were gifted the stacked rosters Lebron gets. Unfortunately franchises cannot jump from franchise to franchise because they are franchises themselves. That is a luxury only the highest quality cheaters like Lebron can afford. It is pity.

[bdreason]

Ed Davis has so much potential. We should have signed him for that price. :facepalm

[Rubio2Gasol]

Who did Ed Davis piss off?

7 footer signing that kinda deal?

Fire your agent son.

[irondarts]

That is a very good deal. Only 2 Million for 2 years for him? Great signing.

[kennethgriffin]

averages well over 10rpg per 36 minutes.. efficiently over 50+ fg's every year

why not.

[hawksdogsbraves]

This is actually a really good signing at that price

[CNNonceAgain]

0% chance he takes the team option. Hopefully for Ed's sake he gets the minutes he deserves in order to prove himself.

[Twiens]

Best value of the offseason, he was awesome
On the Raps

[kennethgriffin]

hes an offensive rebounding machine. great at put backs. great at lobs. can move really well without the ball

soft hands around the rim.

hes just not very good at anything else. pretty much no offensive go to moves.


he's basically playing the role of dennis rodman out there. but obviously not nearly as good

he's worth about 4-5 mill

[oh the horror]

0% chance he takes the team option. Hopefully for Ed's sake he gets the minutes he deserves in order to prove himself.



On this laker team he'll def get minutes.

[Levity]

yep. for a couple months on the raps, he was seeing aobut 30 mins a game and put up about 12/8 and a 1+ block. he'll probably see his fair share of 30+ minute games this season knowing hill's health history.

is this LA's annual rags to riches player?

[wakencdukest]

B-b-b-but big name free agents come to LA :roll: :roll: "We're going to get Love!"

B-b-b-but big name free agents do leave Orlando :roll:

[LAZERUSS]

This...

The Lebron signing pales in comparison.

He was hitting the mid-range J quite consistently before the Rudy trade.

but but no one want to play with kobe :roll: :roll:

[LAZERUSS]

When signing a 6-10 player, with a career 7 ppg, 6 rpg, average is considered "breaking news"...clearly the Lakers have fallen about as far as they can go.

[bdreason]

I can see why Davis would take this deal actually. I bet he got offered more money elsewhere, but nobody would guarantee him minutes. If he can't get more than 20ish MPG, he'll never get that big payday. If Davis blows up this year, he can opt out, and maybe get an extended 10m/y type deal.

[SwishSquared]

He's a pretty nice young piece, especially on the cheap. Was thinking some contender-types would be looking to sign him to bolster the bench frontcourt rotation, but he'll likely get plenty of playing opportunities as a Laker. Weren't Clippers interested in him? Guess he figured there wouldn't be many minutes playing behind Blake/DJ/Hawes.

[Noof]

I really like this signing.

would make sense. if things go davis' way and he becomes something in LA, hill is a 9$ mil team option for the lakers next year, so they can easily decline that option and give that money to davis.

[roffie]

what a steal

[andremiller07]

10-11 mil per season for both Hill and Davis is actually a very good deal imo, cannot beleive the Kings did not offer Davis a similar deal and promise him the starting spot.....

[LAZERUSS]

With a healthy Kobe the Lakers are looking at around a 30-52 record...

[TylerOO]

thats a freakin steal.

[HylianNightmare]

Hope he does well. I thought he was gonna be a beast in Toronto

[gts]

Much happier with this than a Boozer signing.. Better to go young with possible upside than old with nothing but downside in the future

[Big_Dogg]

Well said, I totally agree

[GimmeThat]

I am ready to accept Jordan Hill is Idris Elba at this point.

You mustn't be around much during the off season, every signing is listed as BREAKING here. Quit trying to be a troll.

"We interrupt the President's State of the Union address for this BREAKING NEWS! A homeless man was caught jay-walking in the main street of Pocatello Idaho today. The fine of $25 was dropped, and he was released on his own recognizance. Now, back to the President's State of the Union address in progress."

You're being stupid.

There is a "BREAKING" post for both the Warriors signing Brandon Rush and the Magic signing Luke Ridnour.

So, you're wrong, as usual.

Oh, I apologize then. The Warriors and Magic are now instant favorites to be in the Finals...

Who the **** said the Lakers were instant favorites for anything?

And if you quote my quite obviously sarcastic post, then I weep for humanity.

[L.A.Hawks]

I don't give fcuk what anyone says..this is a definite playoff squad with one more solid decent signing.

Coach Byron Scott
Kobe
Lin
Jordan hill
Ed Davis
Kendall Marshall
Nick young
Julius randle

And add a signing like Evan turner that's a 45-50 win team

[no pun intended]

Never underestimate someone of Kobe's caliber.

:coleman:

That's probably still the 2nd worst WCF squad. Only Utah is worse than them.

Unless you think Kobe can actually play well for 82 games, which is unprecedented.

[L.A.Hawks]

Quote me on this, remember it, write it down, take a picture, I don't care.

[MiseryCityTexas]

Wasted potential. I remember everyone thought he was gonna be a future beast.

Lol what a homer. The roster looks like they will have trouble reaching 30 wins.

I'm ready to see how bad Kobe is when it comes regular season time and the team needs him to win a few ball games.

he shouldn't be playing at 100% 75/70% of the time. But should be playing 70/75% 100% of the time.


Evan Turner though, he might be going for the slowest slasher since Manu/Harden with this squad.

[sbw19]

Bargain @ 2mil. We needed some rebounding to offset Gasol's.

[L.A.Hawks]

Lol what a homer. The roster looks like they will have trouble reaching 30 wins.

Smush Parker
Chris mihm
Kwame brown

[wally_world]

Nice rental. He'll get the opportunities to shine too, so probably great for his next contract.

[kennethgriffin]

lakers suck shiot

i hope kobe bails. we don't deserve him
