The Lakers have reached the roster limit by waiving Vander Blue, Travis Wear and Briante Weber, the team announced on its website.
Blue has played just five NBA games — three with the Celtics and two with the Lakers — since going undrafted out of Marquette in 2013. The 25-year-old was MVP of the G League last season with L.A.’s affiliate and had a strong showing in the Las Vegas Summer League. His camp contract contains a $50K guarantee.
Wear has an Exhibit 10 deal, which could still be converted to a two-way contract as the Lakers have an opening. The 27-year-old forward will receive a bonus if he winds up in the G League.
Weber, a 24-year-old point guard, played 13 games with the Hornets at the end of last season.
The moves bring the Lakers’ roster down to 16 players, including a two-way contract for Alex Caruso.
I was hoping Blue could somehow find a way onto the team, he’s definitely good enough to make a NBA roster.
Yes a G-league roster.
