    I guess Luke was not interested in seeing what other teams had to offer. Glad to have him back. Good player for the triangle and I do not think KB has a problem playing with him. He was having a good year until the injuries.

    They gave him the full MLE??? Are you kidding me! This Lakers F.O does'nt have a clue, because Luke first said he wanted to test free agency. Suddenly he gets a contract offer from our deer F.O that even he could'nt believe was true. ( Thats why it only took a min. for him to except)

    It's Official.... The Lakers will not make the playoffs next year, and for many years to come

    6 years 30 mil for a bench spark plug.... WOW/ Kobe is somewhere pulling whats left of his hair out

    Thanx fellaz! My heart skipped a few beats, but i still think he was overpaid, and by the looks of it all of our possible targets are coming off the board rather quickly. I hate to seem so unoptimistic, but i just don't see this team improving. Look at where the other teams in the west are going, and look where we are going.

    In the front office i trust.... To make the wrong decision

    Walton to stay with Lakers after agreeing to 6-year, $30 million deal

    By Chris Sheridan
    ESPN.com

    Luke Walton reached agreement Sunday with the Los Angeles Lakers on a six-year, $30 million contract after general manager Mitch Kupchak placed a call one minute after midnight to express the team's interest in retaining its best unrestricted free agent.


    They called at the earliest possible moment, and we worked on it all day," agent Lon Babby said. "They wanted him back, and Luke wanted to be there. We wanted to make every effort to get an agreement.before we went out and looked at any other teams."

    Another of Babby's clients, Grant Hill, had one of his more lucrative options taken away when the Toronto Raptors decided to spend their mid-level exception on Miami Heat sharpshooter Jason Kapono.
