Lakers waive Divac after injury-shortened season
October 6, 2005
HONOLULU (AP) -- The Los Angeles Lakers have waived Vlade Divac, a disappointment in his second go-round with the team.
The Lakers had the option of picking up a one-year, $5.4 million contract option or buying him out for $2 million. Divac will be owed the $2 million if he clears waivers.
The 37-year-old center underwent back surgery in January and played in only 15 games for Los Angeles last season, averaging 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds. He had averaged 11.9 points and 8.3 rebounds in 15 previous NBA seasons, seven with the Lakers, two with Charlotte and six with Sacramento.

Taken by the Lakers with the 26th pick in the 1989 NBA draft, they traded him to Charlotte in 1996 for the rights to Kobe Bryant.
Divac has been quoted as saying he planned to retire, but would like to remain with the Lakers as an assistant coach and scout.
The Lakers also announced Thursday that they have signed center Adam Parada, a 7-foot center who last played in the NBA Developmental League. Parada, out of UC Irvine, averaged 5.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 13.8 minutes in 23 games for the Huntsville Flight.
He was a member of the Sacramento Kings' training camp roster in 2004 but was waived.
