LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Guard Shannon Brown will return to the Los Angeles Lakers for a shot at their third straight championship.

Brown's agent, Mark Bartelstein, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the high-flying guard agreed to a two-year deal worth $4.6 million to return for his third season with Los Angeles.

The Lakers acquired Brown in a trade in early 2009, and he quickly earned a role in their rotation as a backup to Kobe Bryant. Brown averaged 8.1 points and 2.3 rebounds last season while playing solid defense for the Lakers.

After opting out of his contract earlier this summer, Brown considered more lucrative offers from several teams, including New York, Cleveland and New Orleans.

ESPN.com first reported the deal.


OOOOOh shit let the 3peat begin. Its Lake show now baby.

I'm hoping a quality vet gets traded and waived like PJ Brown in 2008.

Josh Powell Brings Depth, Championship Experience to Hawks‎

ORLANDO, FL. -- There are veterans who spend years chasing the chance to win an elusive NBA title.

And there are veterans – like Josh Powell – who leave championship teams to prove they actually can play in the NBA.

It's like leaving the penthouse – when you don't necessarily have to leave. Not an easy decision.

Powell, 26, won back-to-back championships with the Los Angeles Lakers, but he opted to sign last month as a free agent with his hometown Atlanta Hawks, believing it was best for his future.

Whew... for a minute I thought you were talking about this Brown here...

I was about ready to fly to L.A., to kill a nigga!!

Did you see when they were all on Jimmy Kimmel live? Kobe referenced how high everyone's ball skills were except for Mbenga and Powell. He even went from talking about how good a player Adam Morrison was to saying that Powell was a great dancer.

Reporter: "Kobe, can you tell us, are you going to miss Josh Powell?"
Kobe: "Ummm, well... he as a great dancer."

Good for Shannon. Not a Lakers fan but he is from my hood. Glad to see Maywood, Il repping.

 

[LordSinister]

I wonder if they are done getting players?

Hell, I'd sign Kwame again for minimum wage just to take fouls.

Maybe T-mac wants to come too?

 

[Tha_Technician323]

I'm glad we resigned him, I did like MBenga though to me he was a good physical big man wasn't afraid to mix it up.....I thought he should have got some minutes against Boston last finals when Odom was playing like he had Khloe's skirt on.....Shaq will have to retire a heat now that he went to them Hated Smeltics......

One of the reasons why Kwame isn't with the Celtics now is because he refused to take the MLE.

Actually as a backup, i don't think Kwame would be a bad idea. He's a free agent and he knows the offensive/defensive schemes, etc. Get rebounds and play interior defense...

I'd take Caracter over Kwame, fuck hands of stone

Unfortunately he's done more than darko. And look what darko got.

Fuck Farmar and his poor shot selection, Blake is an upgrade

After how it ended for Kwame in LA-- that booing was vicious as I recall-- he needs to be elsewhere.

You counting PGs that aint PGs no more. I love Fisher but Fisher should be coaching and Farmar is the PG we should have kept

What good decisions did you see Farmar ever make that you think he should ever be a starting PG in the league

and he sure as hell doesn't shoot 40% from three like Blake

I'm not talking about Farmar replacing Blake. Farmar replacing Fisher.

What games did you see Phil let Farmar get legit run in? What PGs did you see Fisher keep up with and shut down this year?
