will get a chance to make the Lakers roster this fall.
The Lakers are signing Blue to a partially guaranteed deal, according to a source who couldn’t speak publicly because the deal is not official yet.
Blue was selected most valuable player of the NBA development league last season after averaging 24.8 points, 3.0 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals a game for the Los Angeles D-Fenders, the Lakers’ affiliate. The team is now called the South Bay Lakers.
Blue was also an instrumental part of the Lakers’ summer league team.
