Many questions surround the Los Angeles Lakers after the team missed out on re-signing center Dwight Howard. No larger question than if the Lakers can reclaim its championship luster.
The team took a step towards its quest for glory by signing free agent guard Jordan Farmar to a one-year, $1 million-dollar deal, which in turn gives Los Angeles the critical bench piece that helped them win back-to-back NBA titles in 2009 and 2010.
“We’re pleased to have Jordan back with our organization,” explains Lakers g.m. Mitch Kupchak. “We look forward to him once again making a positive impact on our team.”
Farmar, a Los Angeles native, played last season in Turkey, where he averaged 13.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists for Anadolu Efes Istanbul in the Euroleague.
