Vlade Divac says he's leaving Kings for Lakers

wilheim · Jul 19, 2004

The 36-year-old Serb center, who is a free agent after spending six seasons with the Kings, said Monday that Sacramento was not willing to give him more than $2.5 million per season to stay. "I'm definitely leaving Sacramento," Divac said. "It was a great six years". He said that probably, "the Lakers will be my (next) club." Fox Sports report.

Good for the brothers. That was a smart move on their part. they know this core is all done.. .why hold the cap hostage for a 36 year old center? good move.

GO LAKERS!!!!!!

RobFunk · Jul 19, 2004

They'll definatly win some games with Kobe, Divac, Odom and GP. It will definatly be interesting to see how Rudy T. gets all of this to blend together. As long as kermit Washington does'nt try to punch him in the face while he's trying to coach.

Down goes Tomjanovich ! Down goes Tomjanovich ! - The punch that nearly killed Rudy Tomjanovich.

Vlade is only 36? I thought he was 44....

RobFunk · Jul 19, 2004

I thought 44 is his jersey number

Journeyman · Jul 19, 2004

Kings window closed shut now....shame they didn't get one.

Kobe's contract insists that they sign a center who will pass him the ball.

Lakers say they will make announcement tomorrow that Vlade will accept a 4.9 million dollar one year deal. (ESPN News).

Sun shines better in that part of California

Well. at least it does when you get that kind of money for a career that has almost nothing left.

RobFunk · Jul 19, 2004

I have to give credit to LA, that is actually a competitive team. they could win around 50 games, if Rudy can steer that ship right.

LA always making the moves to constantly be in public eye, one way or another.

WildBill · Jul 19, 2004

50 wins my ass. They will win 45 if they are lucky. Besides what will the fans think, they LOVE to boo him in Staples! Oh well, Lakers had to have one all-star flopper on the team since Fish took his act north. As for the Kings, he makes no difference, they didn't play him that much and he didn't contribute much when he got his chances. I can't believe someone would say losing Vlade is closing the window of opportunity, that would be like a Laker fan saying losing Fox would finish off the dynasty.

VLADE DIVAC 45
Star center who was noted for being a gifted passer.

Trivia Fact:
I became well-known in the NBA for 'flopping,' the act of faking falling down so that referees would call fouls on opposing players.

Another trivia fact: Vlade appeared in an episode of Married with Children.

GoForBroke · Feb 3, 2013

All hail the great Vlade Divac; the greatest flopper of all-time.

donkeybucks · Feb 4, 2013

He's coming to the Lakers, really?! Oh man, I can't wait! Thank God, we can now trade off Kobe...

KingofNicotine · Feb 4, 2013

Where did Robfunk go?

armchair qb · Feb 4, 2013

Lakers did all they could to lose today. So they lost the cover instead.
