    Jake LaRavia and the Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal. LaRavia was an unrestricted free agent after the Memphis Grizzlies declined their fourth year option on his contract. LaRavia was subsequently traded to the Sacramento Kings at the deadline.

    In 66 games last season, LaRavia averaged 6.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting 42.3 percent on three-pointer s.

    Don't really get this signing at this time. He's an unknown as far as I'm concerned and that eats significantly into our MLE money.

    Too many white guys, especially if we add Lopez, Dalton must be on his way out, maybe Kleber as well.

    Thanks for the Advanced stats. Looks like he is on a similar improvement trajectory each year to AR. Get this young man 12-18 minutes consistently.

    in a vacuum, laravia is worth what we paid. i just don't like his fit with the current roster nor the fact that eats into our very limited resources.

    things can change in the next hours and days.

    Feel like Knecht is even more expendable now.

    interestingly, stats have laravia as a defensive plus. and i can buy it; he's just not the defender we need. but he and knecht are different players.

    edit: didn't see the cranjis stuff above, but...that ^

    I like the move. A young dude who still has plenty of room to grow. If it doesn’t work out, big deal- in today’s NBA $6 mill per is chump change.
    Once LeBron finally leaves, that’s when we’ll have real money to build around Luka.
