Antawn Jamison takes pay cut in hopes of a title with Lakers

Posted Jul 26, 2012
Newly signed Laker Antawn Jamison called it a "dream opportunity" and "ideal scenario" to play for the Lakers. He always admired how the Lakers won 16 NBA championships. Jamison believed he would fit well with the team because he's hungry for his first championship after 16 seasons. Meanwhile, Mitch Kupchak considered the signing "just as surprising" as the Steve Nash acquisition. (Los Angeles Times)
