THIS IS NOT OFFICIAL
Some Sources have said the lakers have waived B.Grant!!!! It will save them $30 Million with the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement.

Very good move if it indeed does happen.

by **Its_asdf** on Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:41 am

Well, it was pretty obvious. A player that warms the bench + Getting paid over 10 million a year = Waived.

Hope the Hawks can sign Grant next.

The Hawks will give Grant as much money as Shaq makes, they love overpaying average to below average Free Agents.

Oh great, last night I dreamed that Im some Lakers staff..
Then it was training camp and I told Grant that he's cut.... :lol:

Dream come true

by **Kemp** on Thu Aug 04, 2005 5:21 pm

Well, Grant won't be even in the training camp so he is definitely out for sure.

It was a disappointing season for Grant last year... so it's unfortunate he might get cut. I thought there was a chance he could play well and provide a presence on defence.

At the risk of wearing out the swingman joke...no chance, he's not a swingman. Mind you, it wouldn't be such a bad move for Atlanta providing they didn't match his current deal. They could use a solid player in the middle, though Grant is undersized as a centre. Still a better option than Ekezie.

The rest of the nba can have Brian Grant and his reliable knees (Y)

Hopefully, good riddance. :mrgreen:

I want his hair.

It was about time! but hey the Lakers still have to pay him the remaining balance on this contract, right?

Yep,he gets paid for doing nothing. Actually he's being doing just that all season,except now he won't be on the roster anymore.

By the way,I don't see the point of this thread if there are no reliable sources invovled.

This is a no brainer, he's untradeable.

I would be funny to see him back in Miami for league mininum, tho.

What the hell does that have to do with wanting his hair? I wouldn't mind having a broom-like head myself.

i hope the raptors signs him for the minimum.....or a little bit more

Why? Charlie V will solve all your problems.

I Agree if they got him why sign Grant.Grant didnt really produce in LA.
i think he'd be a better fit in a place like houston as a back up PF Cause houston got Yao,and mutumbo. :idea:

You can repeat as many times as you like until the Raptors win their first championships. This will take ages though.

Thats true i think the Warriors win one first. :lol:

They can get a point guard..they have enough $$

Remember that this Lakers team is totally different to the ones Phil coached in 03-04 season. There are no Shaq, Payton and Malone. Even with Phil back this season, the best thing that he could do is to get the Lakers back to the playoffs. Also, Phil still have not figure out how to play the triangle offence. Who is going to run the point? Is Odom going to play point-forward? Now they must find a good PG that has size and strength.
