    Well, the Lakers signed Mamadou N'diaye.

    Link? Anyways, wasn't he the guy who played for the Clippers a couple of seasons ago? Don't really know much about him, but he shouldn't be anything more than just a training camp body.

    Relax. He's just a training camp body. His contract is not guaranteed.

    Here's a picture:

    Mamadou has played for Toronto, Dallas, LAC, and Atlanta. His best season was the 02-03 season with Toronto, when he averaged 5.5 points per game, and 3.7 rebounds per game, along with 1.45 blocks per game

    Hahaha, I remember when he was on the Raptors, I used to just love saying his name.

    Well, I don't really have anything to say to this signing...hope he helps the Lakers out with some garbage points here and there and solid defense. I vaugely remember him being able to block well. He's also extremely foul prone I believe. Or am I thinking of someone else?

    I remember him from the Raps. The best you can hope for is the second coming of Desagan Diop. Although I seriously doubt it happens. Honestly, I keep getting memories of him and Jerome Moiso mixed together.

    Our regular season roster is likely set now that we signed Pinock. If this guy makes it out of training camp, I'll be surprised.

    Abdul Rahim and Abdul Rauf actually had an improvement in stats whilst they fast.
