[Charania] The Lakers and seven-foot center Christian Koloko have agreed on a deal, agent Calvin Andrews of Klutch Sports says. Koloko is expected to have an opportunity for a role in Lakers frontcourt after he receives clearance from league’s fitness panel.

Fuck.
Great signing. It’s a team need especially with Wood out and missing the beginning of the season.
This is the move that pushes the lakers into contention 🔥 great offseason once again rob pelinka maybe the lakers can lose to the nuggets in 6 this time
Actually huge, worst case scenario he replaces Wood on the bench and best case scenario he outplays Jaxson Hayes
First actual new player the Lakers have signed this summer
Lakers and signing washed big men every offseason 🤝
Isn’t the roster already full?? Or is this a camp deal?
Klutch coming up clutch
Cool with the signing, we need a Center
Only problem is right now we don’t have a open roster spot, so we must be waiving or trading someone
They really let us get Koloko 😈
What happened to loyalty. What happened to brotherhood.
This is just a kick in the balls. The Raptors Center curse continues and Lakers get this shit for free cuz of fucking Kutch collusion lmao
Sierra Canyon/Klutch to Lakers pipeline still in effect
Obligatory Fuck the Lakers/Klutch, but seriously wish all the best to Koloko. Hope he balls out for them and has a great career ahead of him.
Nice, defensive size and can backup AD but might be able to play next to him too..
We have a Center!
#YESSS
AD just fell to his knees in Target; listed day-to-day
Kid showed flashes of being a really good rim protector and rebounder
Thought since day 1 he was gonna be a stud, very disappointing for Raptors, especially because fans have been excited for him to come back over the past year and a bit.
Lol at all the raptors fans yesterday saying there’s no way he goes to LA
Who’s koko loko?
Los Angeles Klutchkers
Why are all the raptors fan pissed? What’s the scouting report on this 2nd round pick with a history of blood clots?
If AD can move to the 4 and play along side Koloko the lakers will look completely different.
Sit the fuck down Jaxon Hayes
Good. I saw Raptor fans pray for Walker Kessler’s downfall just because they’re salty they didn’t draft him. Now Raptors don’t have Walker Kessler by not drafting him, and Koloko
I don’t know why people want him back so bad, hope he does well but he’s a 24 year old 2nd round pick that hasn’t played in a year and the only thing he was good at was blocks
I see a lot of positivity around this signing.
Isn’t he on an exhibit or some sort of non guaranteed deal? How can the lakers keep him on the roster after pre season?
Plus it’s very rare for a player to come back and just be super effective in the nba! It takes some nba players a couple of months to get into league shape from off season.
Raptors fans are obsessed with mid, end of rotation guys lol.
He’s truly nothing special.
This is the kinda shit I wish I was seeing the Nuggets pop up for. Our rookie backup Jokic/AG out for season and we are back to useless Nnaji and no real backup for Jokic
I’m so happy for him! Would love to have him back on the Raptors but glad he’s able to play again
Of all the places to sign. Lakers are bad at player development and are not a win now team. At least he’ll be playing behind AD so can learn a lot if his head is in the right place.
I feel betrayed
F
He should have been a RFA when he became cleared to play
Booooo!
who is getting cut
Lakers fan here. Huge signing for the Lakers. I would post this in the Lakers sub but got banned by an overzealous mod with no sense of humour.
