The Los Angeles Lakers finally inked Chinese point guard Sun Yue to a contract this week.

Sun is getting the standard minimum two-year contract for a second-round draft pick; however his entire contract is fully guaranteed ($1.2 million - ~$442k and ~$736k). He was chosen by the Lakers with the 40th pick in the 2007 NBA Draft.

(A quick note - it's proper to refer to Sun Yue as Sun - as it's correct to use Yao for Yao Ming.)

The Lakers also signed second-round pick Joe Crawford (58th) on Wednesday. While Crawford will need to beat out guards Coby Karl and Dwayne Mitchell on make good contracts - Sun is a lock to make the roster.

Additionally forward Josh Powell signed a two-year deal with the team, also at the minimum ($1.8 million in total). Full details have yet to leak out but Powell is either non-guaranteed - or has partial guarantees. In other words, he's going to have to earn his contract.

Great choice of music. People can't appreciate real music. Today music is completely trash with Lil'Wayne.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU

When they say Powell's contract may be partially guaranteed, would that be like how Karl's contract was last season after he made the actual team? I remember the Lakers had a certain date (I think it was in January) and they would be allowed to cut Coby by then.

It's both of their faults, Soulja Boy produces that trash he calls music, while Wayne produces crap like "Lollipop".

Sick video. I didn't know this was turning into a music thread now. :lol:

[The Original 81]

Not surprising, I knew Sun's contract was gonna be guaranteed, it's gonna be interesting to see if Joe Crawford can make the team.

[We Believe]

I don't think that they will get much playing time. Although they could be big parts later on in the season if we have injuries.
