The Los Angeles Lakers added depth along the front line by signing Theo Ratliff, the team announced on Thursday.

He has averaged 7.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.45 blocks and 25.5 minutes in his 15-year NBA career with the Pistons, 76ers, Hawks, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, Spurs and Bobcats.

"I've had a long and very rewarding career, and joining a storied and legendary franchise such as the Lakers adds an even more special element," Ratliff said in a statement released by the team. "I look forward to playing for Coach Jackson and with great players such as Kobe [Bryant], Derek [Fisher], Pau [Gasol], Lamar [Odom] Ron Artest, Andrew Bynum and all my other new teammates, and hopefully to helping the Lakers win a third straight championship."

Going to have to burn his bobblhead doll.

Meh.

He's been a total liability for the better part of the last decade.

Put a fork in him, he's done!

It would be nice to die knowing Ratliff finally got his ring, though.

Good news, I'm way ahead of the game! He's been on my hate list ever since signed that big extension then quit on the team.

I may hate a Blazer player that leaves the Blazers to go to the Lakers, but i will not begrudge a player who is no longer a player and signs with LA. Let them get their contracts and possibly rings. I do not hate Blake or Ratliff

didn't Ratliff badmouth the blazers right after he left?

Meh.

Put a fork in him, he's done!

Perfect post.

Ditto.

It's a little late to start worrying about this particular schnook.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Fuck all lakers!!!!

I already disliked him. He just goes to a different team every year and sucks it up. Seems like he's been 40 for the last 4 years.
