Lakers keeping Thomas Robinson?
The contract of the forward will become fully guaranteed from January 10
The Los Angeles Lakers may keep Thomas Robinson for the season. The contract of the forward will become fully guaranteed from January 10 and Robinson is replacing with good performances the injured Larry Nance jr.
Per OC Register, As much as Robinson has focused on the ball, he has not paid attention to the numbers because of the team’s persistent losing. Robinson also said he has not looked at the upcoming calendar. On Jan. 10, Robinson’s one-year contract becomes fully guaranteed if the Lakers retain him.
“I just control when my name gets called, and then I go play. That’s all I got to do.” he said. “I’m coming in early, leaving late and being supportive of my team. As far as the decisions the front office makes, I have no control over that.”
The odds appear high he will stick considering his production and Nance’s absence. Though Nance has recently worked out on a weight-bearing treadmill, the Lakers expect him to miss four more weeks.
Lakers coach Luke Walton described Robinson as “a beast on the glass” and Nance said he provides “100 percent energy nonstop.”
