Lakers to sign Brandon Bass

Celtics free agent forward Brandon Bass to sign with the Lakers, a source told Yahoo Sports

Not the big name that the Lakers and their fans were hoping for, but he's still a good pick-up. If you can't make a huge, fantastic blockbuster deal, make a few solid and sensible ones.

looks like we have another player for western conference champion now

I wonder how much and for how long his contract with the Lakers will be. Bass always plays hard, that is a plus. But all the lakers will have is 3 undersized PFs. I wish the Lakers can shore up the 3 spot though.

Bass is quite a nice catch for the Lakers.

As long as playing in Tinseltown doesn't go to his head, turning him into a largemouth Bass.

Here's hoping the lure of the Hollywood lifestyle doesn't reel him in.

Considering how many free agents turned out to be the ones that got away for the Lakers, you do have to wonder what kind of line they used to bait him into signing.
