This is actually a really good signing at that price
0% chance he takes the team option. Hopefully for Ed's sake he gets the minutes he deserves in order to prove himself.
Best value of the offseason, he was awesome
On the Raps
[B]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

On this laker team he'll def get minutes.
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?

The Lebron signing pales in comparison.

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

[QUOTE=Rubio2Gasol]Who did Ed Davis piss off?
7 footer signing that kinda deal?

but but no one want to play with kobe :roll: :roll:
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.
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.
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.
I really like this signing.
