The two-year deal is worth approximately $4.6 million according to Brown’s agent, Mark Barelstein.  The agreement process between the two parties has definitely taken some time but it has finally ended.  Brown has been given plenty of opportunities with other teams but his heart lies in Los Angeles with the Lakers.  He has been with them for two championships and hopes to be with them for a third and a fourth title championship during his two-year deal, which does include a player option for the contract’s second year.

Last season, the guard averaged just over 8 points per game, 2.3 rebounds, and 20.7 minutes.  These were all career highs for Brown as well.

On June 22, the 22-year-old Laker has his knee drained of fluid initially incurred this injury during the first round of the playoff series in Game 6 against OKC in April.  With the decision to postpone surgery, he was still a part of all the 23 postseason games with the Lakers as a starter despite his injury.  He recorded an average of 6.9 rebounds and 8.6 points per game in addition to 1.57 blocks per game, which helped lead Los Angeles to their second consecutive NBA championship title.

The center appeared in 65 games of the regular season with the Lakers this past season during which he recorded 8.3 boards and 15 points per game.

Bynum is expected to join the team at training camp when it commences on September 25 but with a limited role.  The Lakers are traveling to Europe for exhibition games in both London and Barcelona but sources have not confirmed whether Bynum will participate.

Regardless of his limited role in training camp, the 22-year-old center is expected to have a successful recovery and be ready to start the regular season.  He will be rehabilitating his knee for the next six to eight weeks.
