Lakers among teams chasing guard Daniels

LOS ANGELES - On the first day of the NBA's free-agent negotiation period, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak reached out Friday to Seattle SuperSonics guard Antonio Daniels.
Agent Tony Dutt said the Lakers were one of 11 teams that called about possibly signing Daniels and likely would be among the three or four teams that turn out to be Daniels' finalists.
"He thinks it's a good situation," Dutt said. "Obviously, they've made some changes the last couple of years. I think everybody agrees that's a team that's going to win every season. They've had their struggles but always find a way to right the ship, so to speak."
The front-runner to sign Daniels, 30, appears to be the Cleveland Cavaliers, who could have as much as $28 million to spend on free agents and are looking to replace Jeff McInnis. Daniels grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and played at Bowling Green.
With the Lakers in excess of the salary cap for next season, the best they can offer Daniels would be the standard midlevel exception available to all 30 NBA teams. Their biggest possible deal would be for five years and about $30.5 million.
The Lakers also have to decide about signing any player past the 2006-07 season, after which they are positioned to have salary-cap flexibility for the first time since trading Shaquille O'Neal.
Daniels backed up Luke Ridnour last season in Seattle, averaging a career-best 11.2 points and 4.1 assists in 27 minutes a game.
Meanwhile, the Lakers and Vlade Divac have agreed to postpone a decision on the veteran center's contract status until just before the start of training camp. The Lakers have the option of picking up a one-year, $5.4 million contract option or buying Divac out for $2 million.
Good luck to Antonio.

Antonio doesnt strike me as a player that is going to change a team... just another good role player
Idiots. Chalk up another CBA error.
If the Lakers got Antonio...
They would improve greatly.
Cool that Antonio should be a starter next year.
Antonio and the Cavs would be a perfect fit.
AD would be a perfect fit in LA. A guy who can penetrate, hit the midrange shot, and who doesn't need to be ballhawk to be effective. I hope he does come to LA so I can see him all the time. He's still one of my favorite Spurs, and I'll never forget the way he played in 2001 for us.
wow TPark
welcome
I think Antonio plays better off the bench.
Heeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^ God that gave me the s evertime he went to the basket. He killed off FTs
Gee, what are the chances he'll back up Tony now?
I think some people should not pick cavs to do so well
with 28 million
they may have like 3 new starters
and they will need time to gel
Seriously dude, your LeBron hate cracks me up almost as much as your syntax.
stating they will win the east is going to far IMO
pistons have played together along time
heat have played together a year
pacers will up there
no nba team just goes to not making the playoffs then winning the east or west
I agree with that -- it'll be interesting to see how quickly the rookie coach can bring it all together.
I've heard that Antonio doesn't want to live in Cleveland, but I'm sure if the price is right he would go anywhere.
hopefully antonio wont sign with the lakers out of principle, if nothing else..
I thought AD grew up around Columbus -- I know he went to Bowling Green.
chump, you love antonio
?
i dunno just kidding. so you hate him then?
Good player -- improved since he left -- can actually run a team now. Not coming back.
That's pretty much it.
Any competent player can change a team if he replaces someone bad enough. That would likely be true in either Cleveland (McInnis) or LA (Atkins).
sw
Three new starters means they won't be able to gel for a while?stating they will win the east is going to far IMO

You're off base.
Sincerely, the Phoenix Suns.
AD fits in nicely in Lalaland.
