The Lakers have waived Shaquille Harrison, the team announced (via Twitter).
Harrison’s $2,413,304 salary for 2023/24 was non-guaranteed, so the move creates some cap space and roster flexibility ahead of free agency.
The veteran guard spent most of the ’22/23 season in the G League for the South Bay Lakers, L.A.’s affiliate, earning a spot on the NBAGL All-Defensive Team. He signed a 10-day deal with the Blazers at the end of the season before signing with the Lakers for the playoffs.
Harrison didn’t appear in any regular season games for the Lakers, but did play 28 minutes over eight playoff games. The 29-year-old defensive stalwart will hit unrestricted free agency in a couple days assuming he clears the waiver wire.
SHAQ is much too busy with commercials & endorsements these days anyway to have any time for Basketball !!
Back to Phoenix to finally be used? Someone…I’ve been doing this for so many years, but I know he just needs that spot that Payton got
Denver if they lose Bruce Brown…Dallas, New Orleand, Houston, Heat if they lose Lowry, Oladipo and/or Vincent…
I’m confused…Phoenix? Payton?
He started out with Phoenix years ago, when they needed a guard back then, and didnt get the opportunity, and now they could use his defense and playmaking next to guys like Beal and Booker
Payton as in Gary Payton II with GS
I think it’s Elfrid Payton? But Shaq Harrison was aived in favor of Jamal Crawford IIRC but I honestly don’t remember.
Shaquille Harrison is a guy I really like but he just can’t find a team to latch on with.
loved him on pawn stars
Lakers just offered him a thank you for his services playing for SouthBay, it was like that Andre Ingram signing back in the day. Just a nice bonus for grinding, shows a sign of class by the organization
