The signing of Harris — who can play the three, and be a stretch four — may mean the Lakers are no longer pursuing Lamar Odom. Once again, the Lakers are adding youth to their roster; however, it remains to be seen if Harris will go to the D-League, or be sent overseas. Either way, I like the signing, especially if Harris can work on his outside game.
