Lakers sign Mickael Gelabale

[tkb]

Its a pretty decent pick up that gives us some depth at the 3 and 2

[Dr Aki]

hes here for no reason until ammo is played, value raised and then dealt for savings (earliest probably dec/jan)

theres no PT to be had for gelabale...

My favorite Gelabeles are buttered popcorn and cherry. Least fave are black licorice.

The Lakers have 2 things stopping them from being flawless. A pg and a backup 2/3 and I think he will make the team because he is a young backup 2/3 who is extremely long and athletic and can guard mulitiple positions. He will also out play Morrison.

P.S. It's good to see people here knowing we need a backup at that position because the other board I am at the people think it's stupid for the Lakers to add anybody lol. I actually got ripped for suggesting adding a nice 2/3 backup.

Anyway Kobe seems to like him which helps.

We needed a long, athletic swingman who can finish on the break and playing 10-15mpg of solid defence. Gelabale might be our man. His stats in Seattle were nothing special, but he did put up 5ppg in 17mpg, so he know hows to put the ball in the basket. The guy can jump out of the gym to boot.

I wonder if he can play SG and take Sasha's minutes.

he cant shoot

Sasha can't shoot either .

Still Sasha gets the edge in that department 35% or better the last 3 years.

I'm excited and its funny how excited I get about 14th and 15th guys that change every season.

I was stoked on Sun last year

Well no offense but that was silly imo. Sun Yue is a scrub plain and simple. This guy fits a real need, a long athletic backup swingman who can not only give Ron and Kobe a break but can allow Brown to really give it a go at pg instead of backup 2 which without him is the smart move.

could be a poor mans ariza. good move. well see if the lakers coaching staff can improve his game like they did with ariza

imo, sun still wasnt ready to contribute during his first year... was simply too wiry and thin to withstand the NBA

then he chose to go play with china instead of staying for summer league...

that made it plain and simple regarding his committment to the lakers

rightly let go, hope he succeeds in NY

A potential Shanon brown clone in the making...

Good pickup Mitch...

[Hyral]

This guy has the potential to be our Trevor Ariza replacement...i really think he's going to shine with the Lakers if he gets a roster spot.
