Gabe Vincent signs with Lakers for three years, $33 million
Vincent will not be returning for Miami.
Gabe Vincent has signed a three-year, $33 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic was first to report Friday. The Lakers are expected to use most of their mid-level exception for this signing.
Vincent averaged 9.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season, shooting 40.2 percent shooting, 33.4 percent from 3-point range and 87.2 percent from the free-throw line. Over his four-year Heat career, he averaged 7.7 points, 1.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals on 39.9 percent shooting and 33.9 percent from deep.
In 22 playoff games with Miami, he averaged 12.7 points and 3.5 assists on 37.8 percent shooting from deep.
The Heat reportedly offered Vincent a three-year, $24 million deal—beginning at $7.7 million— and did not exceed that offer, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. Kyle Lowry, on an expiring $29.7 million deal, is the only point guard on their roster.
This is a breaking news story. Stay tuned for updates.
I wonder how good will he still be outside of the heat system. Most of the undrafted/g league guys that left miami struggled on other teams. Wayne Ellington, Rodney Mcgruder, Tyler Johnson and especially Hassan whitside.
I can still remember Hassan being a bargaining chip to get Butler years before because he was that good but attitude and mentality derailed his future.
i guess that left us no choice but to sign back Kendrick nunn
