Tarik Black Waived

[Jedi32]

This picture best describes my time here in LA. It's been absolutely amazing and invigorating. I would like to thank the Lakers for an amazing ride and being there for me. From the staff, the team, and the fans I am indescribably grateful. You all opened the doors for me to live a dream to play for such an organization. I love you all and the Lakers are forever in my heart

Salute Tarik you'll be missed

i love this dude. especially at the time we were starved of talent. great guy. but just wasnt that good. best of luck tarik!

also, glad that we're now committed to zubac's development.

Was always a fan of Tarik, but that 6.6 million we saved was the deciding factor. He'll have a long career in the NBA, his journey is just beginning. Hope one day he gets a ring. Best of luck Tarik!

sucks. i like him.

This probably means we are ready to throw some big 1 year deal at someone.

Lopez fills the positional need (together with an improved Zubac and added T Bryant). Tarik became expendable.

I'll miss him, too, but it's the right move based on our needs. The money will be put toward buying us a forward.

Wish he'd been a better player. One of those guys you really wanted to do well...and be your main bench big. Talent wasn't there though. Some flashes...but never any consistency. Once Zubac emerged, it was clear he was gonna get waived. Already there's a higher ceiling on Zubac.

Just hope the guy gets a nice deal somewhere. Best of luck
