The Goods Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Ran into Assistant GM Ronnie Lester, who is taking in the Summer League games here in Vegas, mainly to get a good look at Adam Morrison. The rest of the Lakers team, including draft pick Chinemelu Elonu, are little more than prospective training game fodder. Morrison, though. has a guaranteed contract which means — barring a trade — he is expected to be back with the Lakers next season. And since Mitch Kupchak repeatedly has said the Lakers will carry a maximum of 13 players (yes, that includes Lamar Odom), which could leave Sun Yue out. Lester agreed. Sun missed last year’s Summer League because of his commitment to the Chinese National Team. He again skipped this summer’s play in favor of playing overseas. Lester said Sun’s apparent lack of commitment to the Lakers and the fact he missed all of training camp last season because of an injury, doesn’t help his chances of keeping his roster spot. “It does seem he is the odd-man out,” Lester said. http://lakers.freedomblogging.com/2009/07/11/is-sun-yue-headed-out-the-door/20493/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted July 12, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 It's Sun Yue. I could care less. I would waive him if it means more playing time for anyone but Sasha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I'm sure the Lakers could really care less about this guy. I wouldn't be surprised if he is waived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWaLL Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Who cares about him? All of China, they want to see more chinese players in the NBA. But frankly, this guy just flat out sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
