Question

Has/Have the Lakers signed Joe Crawford?

Answer 1

i dont think they have yet

Answer 2

not yet.

Answer 3

Well they did draft them!

But he's not offically signed on their team

Not yet.

Answer 4

Joe Crawford will recieve the same playing time as Coby Karl.

Answer 5

I don't think they will sign him. The Lakers are well above the salary cap and will have to pay a dollar-for-dollar tax with the signing of Sasha Vujacic. If ever they sign him, it will be under the minimum contract and he will not get playing time unless it is a blowout or ala Coby Karl time last season.

Answer 6

They drafted him. #58 pick of the Second Round.

Answer 7

No, Joe Crawford has yet to sign a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers have 11 players under contract next year.  Here's some info on what might happen with the twelfth and final roster spot (see source link below):

Now that Vujacic's deal is done, the Lakers have 11 players under contract for next year, leaving two spots to be filled.

The team has had ongoing conversations with the agent for Sun Yue, the second-round draft choice from 2007 and Kupchak affirmed that he expected Yue to be with the team in training camp. Yue just needs permission from his team in China to come to the U.S., and his agent said that process has already begun.

Also in the mix for a roster spot will be this year's second-round pick Joe Crawford, and fan-favorite Coby Karl.

"Assuming one of them (Yue, Karl and Crawford) makes the team, that brings you to 12 and then we'd probably look for a big player, a front-court player or a young developing player because there might not be that many minutes available for that person."

Kupchak dismissed the the numerous trade rumors that have swirled around the Lakers this summer-most notably with Chicago and Sacramento- as speculative.

"Our main focus was to try and get Ronny and Sasha back in the fold," he said. "'Now that that's done, we can look around a little bit, but there's really been no effort to make moves other than trying to bring this team back together."
