Glad he at least got that minute first. May seem insignificant, but I'm glad he's actually a NBA player.

At least he doesn't have to move.

Selfishly I am stoked about this...I will get to see him play 3 times against the Golden State Warriors d-league team in Santa Cruz!

Do the Lakers retain his exclusive rights?  And what happens to his paycheck?

LA retains his rights...not sure about paycheck.

Seriously, Santa Cruz is the worst place to send a NBADL team.

The commute over the 17 is crazy as it is...now picture it during the winter!
And the team either flies out of there but most likely makes the trek over the mountains to San Jose.

They were better off playing in San Jose!!!
