Blount >not< retained by Lakers

[Michael Ryan]

Some updated news on my previous Corie Blount story -
From the LA Times this morning -
 The Laker roster became crystallized Monday, with an old-timer on the way
out and an undrafted rookie surviving the final cut. Eleven-year veteran
Corie Blount was waived by the Lakers, meaning Devin Green beat tough odds
to make the team after going undrafted out of Hampton.
 Blount, for his part, did not play in any of the Lakers' eight exhibition
games. Because of a shortage of experienced Laker post players, Jackson had
hoped to assess Blount's abilities, but knee and foot injuries prevented
Blount from playing.
