JULY 7: Daniels’ one-year, minimum-salary contract is now official, the Lakers announced today (via Twitter). The team confirmed most of its other signings – as well as the Anthony Davis trade – on Saturday.
JULY 1: The Lakers and free agent shooting guard Troy Daniels have agreed to a one-year contract, agent Mark Bartelstein tells Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter link). David Aldridge of The Athletic first reported (via Twitter) that the two sides were closing in on an agreement.
Charania pegs the value of the deal at $2.1MM, which suggests it’s a minimum-salary contract. As such, it won’t have an impact on Los Angeles’ projected cap room.
Daniels, who will turn 28 later this month, averaged 6.2 PPG on .411/.381/.783 shooting in a part-time role (14.9 MPG) for the Suns last season. He’s a career 40.0% shooter from beyond the arc, so he’ll add some floor spacing to the Lakers’ roster without breaking the bank.
so this is our best move so far get him…..
Lakers up to 4 players now. #Dynasty

They had to start adding depth. Dollars to donuts Kawhi is on route. Then all these vets are going to lineup for the minimum just to be a part of something great
Kawhi is not going to the Lakers. lol
Says who?
Says Kawhi
En route
Very underated comment right here. Well done sir
Nice inexpensive move. He shoots 3, he’s a guard and costs the minimum. Not a bad find for 10-12 minutes a night.
Why do people want the Lakers to get Kawhi? Where’s he gonna play?
I think on the court if they have their way.
The versatility of the other two stars can make this work.
Why not just have a super tall lineup. I’m sure we be fine with kawhi at sg
Lmao, the three of them together would be the greatest trio ever assembled. All three are willing passers as well. They will be unguardable.
I mean LeBron is basically the point … kawhi on the wing on at the SF and Kuzma and Davis are the PF/C …. they will land Jr Smith at the SG ..maybe they bring in IGGY as well once he is bought out.
Need rondo, McGee, Korver
I think Iggy gets paid elsewhere
Staples Center
Now they are going for minimum contracts. Am I the only person seen the writing on the wall? Either they have gotten confirmation or they have serious reason to believe they are on the verge of getting Leonard.
i think just for the fact that Kawhi is taking the meeting in the first place means he is going to be honest…if he had changed his mind over the season about TOR then i think he would of not scheduled meetings…
I agree I’m thinking if you can get a super maximum contract from a team you want a championship with and you are taking a meeting with another team you have to think there is serious consideration. Stephen a Smith reported last week his sources say Leonard is seriously considering the Lakers really did not need to hear that scoop to figure it out.
I’d like to see them land Marcus morris
could see both morris twins taking min to play together.
LeBron, Rondo, Kawhi, Kuz, AD
Daniels, Korver, Morris, Morris, Mcgee
Sounds like a good line up to me
