It’s very hard being a Los Angeles Lakers fan. They’re actually winning games which means that their tank job is failing. First they couldn’t win right. And now that they’re season is pretty much over, they can’t even lose right! Lakers don’t know what to do these days!
As we look on to the future of the Lakers. Players on the Lakers right now are deciding whether to stay next year and go with the Kupchak project. Or simply leave.
According to the LA Daily News, Ed Davis is thinking of opting into the Kupchak project.
Davis said in an interview with the Los Angeles News Group that he will opt out of his player option worth around $1 million that would secure his Lakers’ future for the 2015-16 season for one specific reason.
“I’m hoping for a long-term deal,” said Davis, who has until June 25 before formally deciding his move. “I’d love to return here. I know this will turn around eventually.”
“He plays hard and he knows his role,” Scott said of Davis. “He does so many things to make himself better and to make us better.”
“This is definitely my first option,” Davis said of the Lakers. “They’re a team that gave me a look last summer when not too many teams were calling. This is definitely where I want to be at. Hopefully I can stay here for the rest of my career.”
Seems like Ed Davis is liking life in LA. Lakers organisation better lock him up before he changes his mind. He’s a solid rebounder and defender. I don’t see any reason why you should let him go. If he wants to opt in. Pull the trigger.
