Lakers Waive Corie Blount


EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Oct. 31 -- The Los Angeles Lakers have requested waivers on forward/center Corie Blount, it was announced Monday.
Blount, signed during the off-season as a free-agent, missed each of the Lakers eight preseason games after suffering a sprained left foot during the Lakers training camp in Hawaii.

The 11-year NBA veteran most recently played for the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls during the 2003-04 season, averaging 4.4 points and 4.0 rebounds in 62 combined games including three starts.

Selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 25th pick in the first round of the 1993 NBA Draft, Blount was originally acquired by the Lakers in 1995 and in 199 games with Los Angeles from 1995-1999, averaged 3.6 points and 4.0 rebounds in 14.6 minutes.

Juronimo:
I would have rather cut Sasha than Blount, but if Blount can't play, so be it. I was skeptical of that signing anyway.

js83:
I never liked  Blount...he's useless...its not like he was going to make some big contributions to the teams anyways...im glad he is gone  ;D

acbaylove:
To cut Slava, Profit or Sasha is extremely harder than to cut Blount, Parada or Bobbit, cause they have a guaranteed contract. Even if they sucks, Lakers have to keep them (Profit is pretty good, but Slava and Sasha...).

Blount coudn't help the lakers 8  years ago when he was a reserve &  in his 20s. what makes u think he can help the lakers now?

the guys career is finished. he didnt even play last year. From watching the Preseason, Andrew Bynum will give u a hell of alot more than blount ever will.
