Question

LAL only has 11 player under contract, who will the pick up, Any rumors that maybe true???

Answer 1

As you stated, the Lakers currently have 11 players under contract for next year. They are:  Kobe, Fisher, Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Vujacic, Farmar, Walton, Radmanovic, Mihm, and Ariza.

Here's some info on what might happen with the last two roster spots (see source link below):

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."

Answer 2

i remember mitch kupchak saying he wants to sign Sun Yue.

Answer 3

As a Laker fan, I do not know.. It'll most likely be Karl, Crawford, or Sun Yue(depending on his Olymic performance)

Answer 4

Sun Yue is going to sign with the team, I think the Yue and Coby will be with the team swtiching back between the d league and nba.
