Andrew Bogut says Lakers front office ‘lied to’ him last year

Andrew Bogut played a mostly forgettable 24-game stint with the Los Angeles Lakers during the 2017-18 season, but it sounds like he hasn’t forgotten how he feels about the way Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka treated him during his time there.

Bogut was waived by the Lakers four days before his contract was set to become guaranteed for the season, and he told our old friend Mark Medina of The Mercury News that he felt like he was misled by the team about how the year would go:

“The Lakers told me I’d be there the whole year,” Bogut told Bay Area News Group.
