On last week’s summer-league debrief, @RajChipalu and I made the case for LA bringing back Koloko on a two-way contract given their defensive needs at center:
The Los Angeles Lakers plan to sign 7-footer Christian Koloko and forward Chris Manon on two-way NBA contracts, sources tell ESPN. Manon, undrafted out of Vanderbilt, played for the Warriors in California and Las Vegas summer leagues. Koloko played 37 games for L.A. last season.
