Los Angeles Lakers Sign Derrick Caracter
Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol will have a couple of new people to carry their bags around next season.
After not having any rookies on the roster last season, the Los Angeles Lakers signed second-round draft pick Derrick Caracter on Friday a day after inking their other second-round selection, Devin Ebanks, on Thursday — assuring there will be rooks around to fulfill the veterans’ biddings.
Caracter, a 6-foot-9, 270-pound forward taken with the No. 58 pick, was being courted by several teams overseas before settling on a two-year deal with the Lakers. According to Caracter’s agent, Happy Walters, Caracter is guaranteed the rookie minimum of $473,604 in 2010-11 with a team option in place worth approximately $788,000 for the following season.
