October 23, 200817 yr Crawford was sent packing by the Lakers (my new least favorite team now):fight::fire::devil::madman::mad:
October 23, 200817 yr Author That's too bad. Wonder what is next for him. He'll probably get picked up somewhere for an NBDL opportunity. Or at least that's what I would guess.
October 23, 200817 yr How do you make it all thru camp, and the first 5 or 6 games, and then get cut. Did the Lakers have a player come of the injured list that took his place?
October 23, 200817 yr Author How do you make it all thru camp, and the first 5 or 6 games, and then get cut. Did the Lakers have a player come of the injured list that took his place? It is bizarre. They had already signed him.
October 23, 200817 yr Author It says the roster stands at 15, which means they replaced Joe with someone else: http://www.nba.com/lakers/news/081022lakerswaivecrawfordgiles.html
October 23, 200817 yr It is bizarre. They had already signed him. Which means he gets to keep whatever signing bonus, which he didn't likely get much of one. But once he's cut (prior to the season), he loses the remainder of of the contract. I'm pretty sure that it was not a guarenteed contract.
October 23, 200817 yr Author Oh, I see now - Coby Karl (George Karl's son) got the hookup: http://my.lakers.com/blogs/2008/10/22/lakers-cut-roster-to-15/

Yeah, that means he is unemployed with no money is exactly what it means. :irked:

October 23, 200817 yr He's a good player. He'll get a chance somewhere. I hope so, but he is in a tough position to catch on. For what Crawford does on the floor, he needs to be in the 6'6-6'7 range. It will be tough for him to catch on someplace.
