The Los Angeles Lakers signed center DJ Mbenga to a 10-day contract, giving them some added brawn up front. Mbenga, 27, was waived by Golden State two weeks ago in a minor cost-cutting move.

The move brought the team to a league-maximum 15-player roster and signaled the apparent end of Chris Webber's chances of joining the Lakers.

The Lakers were concerned about Webber's conditioning and with the way he faded in last season's playoffs. Webber has not played since the Detroit Pistons lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference finals.

Did anybody even know that the Lakers were thinking of signing him?

I would have been more concerned about his knees. He an barely jump anymore.

No. The only news I heard around him was possibly Detroit. A deal with L.A. is seemingly out of nowhere.

We'll see if the Lakers made a mistake. I have a feeling he's not going to last long on Golden State.
