I really don't see the problem with him getting the 15th roster spot. It would be great if a guy like Auguste could legitimately beat him out for that spot, but having MWP around to remind teammates to play defense is fine.
He can always transition into a player development role if he's not good enough to earn that spot. |

Me neither. A 15th man isn't going to contribute on the floor anyway. Might as well use the spot for a mentor/coach. |

All right! MWP back! I know he's not getting minutes but I love the dude and want him long term in the organization.
Next target...Pau! |

They aren't going to pay $10 million for a mentor/coach. |

He wasn't good enough on a 17-win team.

| I hope he joins up as an assistant coach when he retires. I want Metta on this team in some capacity when we win our next chip just for the interviews. |

That would be cool, MWP is a Laker at heart. |

He was good enough to be the 15th player on a 17-win team. Because that's what he was. |

I feel like they only signed him because today happens to be World Peace Day.

I am a MWP fan, but this is a fact. He looked bad out there last year....just not athletic enough to compete at this level any longer. Time for him to turn the page. |

| Don't want him on the team, tbh. He did his whole mentor thing last year. He was horrendous on the court, 31% FG. Pass. |

Not true, he was leading the league in 3FG% for approximately 5 days |
