Lakers waive Jabari Brown
The Lakers soon confirmed the move.
Having attending two preseason games this year, World Peace creates a buzz throughout the arena that can not be explained. About a month later, Los Angeles signed him to a non-guaranteed veteran’s minimum deal, and now the 35-year-old has made the team. YahooSports revealed today that the Lakers decided World Peace was the correct answer all along. He shot just 27.3 percent overall and 11.1 percent from three in the preseason, so there’s little reason to expect him to provide much on the floor other than a few hard-nosed defense. However, Brown and the Lakers have not commented about his future.
“Obviously, Metta has that experience”, Scott added.
He helped the Lakers win the 2010 National Basketball Association title, when he was known as Ron Artest.
Though not much more impressive in the stats category, Brown’s waiving allows Los Angeles to keep World Peace to serve as a mentor for young Julius Randle. Sports’ Shams Charania, the team plans for World Peace to eventually transition into an assistant coach. “It is a fight in motion because I’m focused on one thing”. Brown played there last season before being called up to the Lakers, where he appeared in 19 games to end the season. While he has been erratic in his time on the court during the preseason, Lakers personnel like the veteran presence in the locker room.
He won a championship alongside Kobe Bryant in 2010.
