Lakers Rumors: Jordan Farmar Met with Luke Walton in Attempted NBA Comeback

Jordan Farmar is back in NBA after only two games in Sacramento Kings last year

HoopsHype's Alex Kennedy reported on Wednesday that Farmar met with Los Angeles Lakers' coach Luke Walton. The two are Lakers' team mates from 2006 to 2010.

Farmar's signature did not significantly increase the list of Lakers, considering his experience and the knowledge of Walton, but he is a potential backup point guard for Lonzo Ball.

Brian Windhorst at ESPN.com says it has agreed to sign a $ 18 million contract with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in one year, the financial flexibility of Los Angeles is not high. Bobby Marks at ESPN.com noted that Lakers' available salary space was only 16.5 million dollars before signing the contract.

If you want to add another guard before the start of the 2016-17 season, this will limit the selection of General Manager Rob Pelinka. According to Max, the Lakers can earn $ 4.3 million with a mid-level exception, which may be enough for Farmer to participate.
