Los Angeles Lakers Agree To Deal With Jodie Meeks
Jodie Meeks has one really good basketball skill. The man can shoot the lights out of the ball, which makes him a perfect fit for the new look Los Angeles Lakers. It was not long after the big Dwight Howard deal and Meeks decided to agree to a two year deal with the team worth around three million dollars or so.
This is going to help the Lakers a lot next season. They have shored up the bench and surrounded their All-Star core with players that fill in the gaps. They always struggle shooting the three ball so they brought in a guy who loves to shoot from deep. They have other creative scorers on their bench now and these moves might just have LA as the favorites to win the title next year. A guy like Meeks might not be a big name, but he’s super valuable.
The Lakers probably had the best offseason out of anyone in the league. They improved themselves in the short term and in the long term. They are able to compete for titles for a long time, just like the Lakers that we have grown to loathe. They always come out on top. There is no stopping them from being one of the best teams in the league. Some would say it is not fair, but the aggressor always wins.
Look out for Jodie Meeks next year. He’s going to be the guy standing in the corner shooting wide open three after wide open three. He might not make all of them but he is going to make way too many of them. Opponents are going to be on their toes when he is on the floor. His shooting might be that final factor that gives LA a title next season.
