Lakers.com: The Los Angeles Lakers have waived free agent guard Coby Karl, it was announced today.

Karl, who was signed by the Lakers as an undrafted rookie free agent on July 30, 2007, appeared in 17 games last season, averaging 1.8 points and 0.8 rebounds in 4.2 minutes.

I saw this coming; during the entire off-season, I kept reading that the Lakers wanted 13 or 14 on the roster before Opening Night, so I knew another cut was coming. I just wasn't 100% sure that it would be Karl because there was some talk that Mbenga might be waived, I believe. Anyway, I hope he can find a home somewhere else and get an opportunity to play.

Sounds good for a nice late season acquisition. Kobe might meet up with some retired at all star break and beg him to join us.

[Black Sheep]

nice
part of the MLE and a roster spot for a retired vet to join

[Real Deal]

He should take Mbenga and Yue with him. And Walton.

[Black Sheep]

Mbenga is actually decent. He gives it all, everything hes got
you cant hate on that
he should make any NBA team just for that and that he has "some" talent


yue is a scrub so i agree there


Luke on the other hand, if he was making 3 million a year he would not be so bad in fans eyes
but hes not

[popo]

The last game he played ok, otherwise he had a dreadful preseason.

[BadScooter]

Why is everyone so quick to dismiss Sun Yue? He's young and a rookie second round pick.

He impressed me during the Olympics and I think if we develop him in our system he could be very valuable down the road.

Imagine if we'd cut Sasha during his rookie year.

[hype]

Poor guy, I was really warming up to him at the end of preseason (especially when they repeatedly mentioned him and his dad throughout the game) and thought he played well. If no vet comes along and injuries occur he might be picked up. Yue hasn't shown anything yet, but you're right... he might. He does remind me a lot of Sasha.

Do you think this sets us up for a move? Did we just not want to pay his salary or what? What would we be saving 2 spaces this early for?

Real is cold-blooded... :lol: :stick:

I agree with fido...they are banking on flexibility to make a move.

I see a trade or vet signing coming up pretty soon.

[GCMD]

Nissan,

What "vets" are available? I mean, ones that are WORTH the MLE?

[GCMD]

Did you know that Bonzi Wells is available? Another 2/3 but he's better than any other 2/3 on this team outside of Kobe. Tough defender and capable scorer. Worth MLE.


Mourning, Mutumbo, Lindsay Hunter and Horry are also available...worth MLE??? No.


Did I forget anyone?

Basically saw this coming...
