He's making 700k. What new deal would they be thinking about?

Maybe they need the 700k off the cap space to sign someone and then they want to use the min on Marshall.

So only PG's left on the team is Lin and Nash? I hope both of these guys stay healthy the whole season

Will he clear waivers, he would be a servicable backup PG somewhere. He's too cheap to ignore.

Actual translation:

"Lakers waiving guard Kendall Marshall"
FO: He's just not really that good.

", but have interest in bringing him back on a new deal if he clears waivers, league sources tell Yahoo."
FO: Someone please take him, we don't want to look like a bad guy here.

Xavier Henry just signed a 1 year minimum deal with the Lakers.

So, who will get to wear #7 jersey next year? incumbent Henry or newcomer Lin?

I have a feeling Lin may ask for #7 and Henry will wear another number.

The guy looked horrible in summer league game yesterday against the 76'ers. I'm not surprised.

He is that cheap....no reason to even waive him....

I guess another move coming soon.

PG is overrated on any team with Kobe on it as he'll handle the ball all the time, don't believe the BS that Kobe needs someone take pressure off of him handling the ball, he loves it. as for Marshall, he's only attribute is passing, he can't score, can't shoot, not very athletic. not a big loss imo.

A move better be on the horizon, because there was no reason to waive him when he's that cheap. You're not gona find a serviceable PG for under a million.

With Nash's health still a question mark, we need someone to take over backup minutes on this team. Even though he's struggling in summer league, you still need him in case Clarkson doesn't pan out

I know some of you guys are high on Bledsoe but I don't know if he is worth what he is asking for. I mean he turned down 12 mil a year from Phoenix for 4 years. Maybe there's a reason why Phoenix doesn't want to offer the 5th year. I mean it's the Suns, they bring dead people back to life. They must know something about his injury. Bledsoe's only played 240 games out of his young 4 year career. That's not really a good sign for a guy who depends on his athleticism.
