6-10 250 C Christian Laetner has been waived by GS. Hes going to be a nice pick up by some team for the minimum because he can still play.

RIP Crushalot😞

I don't want him. He's decent, but not better than Baker.

L8ner is a first class prick.

Him and Hurley were some of the greatest achievers in the NCAA. Back in the days high school kids actually went to college.

I'm surprised it has taken this many years for Laetner to be finally out of the NBA...
It's pretty incredible to think that this, epitomy of a lazy underachiever, actually has gotten by this long because of that one shot in the NCAA tournament so many years ago...
If it was'nt for that shot.. he would have been out of the NBA years ago.

That's a little harsh.

L8 never lived up to the hype. Just like Juwan Howard, KVH and some others but L8 has been a solid player throughout his career. He's been traded and always comes into a situation and does what the team asks of him.

I wouldn't mind picking him up but KT is the same player though I think L8 might be more athletic.
I think if Isiah were to make a 2 for 1 trade that opens up a need for a back-up forward.....I would love to get L8. His toughness is not a question in my book.

I always think it's silly when guys say they don't want a player on the team because they're so used to hating him and rooting against him. Figure it will just take one or two looks at the player ina Knicks uni to forget the past. But I can't imagine rooting for that pretty boy smug prick Laetner. We don't need him. And I'd be shocked if the guys in our locker room wanted him. Let him go somewhere else. He's not a difference maker.

And here I was thinking he'd be a solid pickup for some team, for a year atleast.

L8 hung in the league a long time. He is 35 now, GS will pay him 6.5 to NOT play for them, and he'll get 1 mil to play somewhere.

Not to many guys last that long in the league, and make good jack for 13-14 seasons. I'll giive him that!

We have no roster spots open, and no need for him.
