Lakers waive G Darius Johnson-Odom on Monday.

His contract would have become guaranteed on Jan. 10th and the Lakers have a pressing need for big men now that Dwight, Pau and Jordan Hill are all banged up, so this was an easy decision. Jan 7 - 5:04 PM

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

The Lakers assigned Darius Johnson-Odom to the D-League on Sunday.

He'll join the L.A. D-Fenders for now and the Lakers might be calling him back up to warm their bench in the future. He has no fantasy value.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

The Lakers have assigned rookie Darius Johnson-Odom to the NBA Development League.

He'll head to the Los Angeles D-Fenders in time for team's training camp. He has played just one minute with the Lakers this season and the rookie is a long way from being on the fantasy radar.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

The Lakers have "unofficially" decided to begin the season with 15 players, meaning Darius Johnson-Odom and Robert Sacre have made the team.

Both 2012 second-round picks have non-guaranteed contracts, and the Lakers could waive either or both at any point before the deals become guaranteed in January. Sacre is the better bet to see the floor between the two, but neither is going to be a part of the rotation.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

Darius Johnson-Odom could soon be waived by the Lakers.

The second-round pick is highly athletic, but the Lakers are highly unlikely to keep him around given the current construction of the roster.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

Darius Johnson-Odom has impressed coaches with his athleticism.

Unfortunately for DJO, he'll need to show more than athleticism to have a legitimate shot of making the final roster. He's an energy guy, and that will help his case to stick around, but he sorely needs to improve his raw offensive game.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

Lakers sign second-round pick G Darius Johnson-Odom.

Johnson-Odom has no fantasy value right now, in Dynasty leagues or otherwise, and is simply trying to make the squad.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

GM Mitch Kupchak is reportedly "noncommittal" on keeping second-round pick Darius Johnson-Odom.

The Lakers currently have 12 players under contract not including Devin Ebanks, who is expected to re-sign with the team. As a result, Johnson-Odom will have to play very well in training camp to make the Lakers' final roster, but even if he does, it's highly unlikely he'll have a regular role in the rotation at any point during the season.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

The Lakers purchased the rights to Marquette SG Darius Johnson-Odom with the No. 55 pick in the 2012 NBA Draft (by way of the Mavs).

If Johnson-Odom stood taller than 6'3" he would be an easier sell to NBA GMs, but he never developed point guard skills and he has holes in his offensive game. Still, he can shoot and his athleticism gives him a puncher's chance at success in the NBA. His first step will be making the Lakers' roster.

Darius Johnson-Odom - G - Lakers

Marquette SG Darius Johnson-Odom will join five other prospects for a workout with the Bucks on Sunday.

The group is mostly under-the-radar guards whom the Bucks would target with the No. 42 pick -- it's believed they'll target a big man with their No. 12 pick, such as Ohio State's Jared Sullinger or North Carolina's Tyler Zeller.

Depth Charts

All Positions
Pos	Role	Name
PG	1	Steve Nash Sidelined Lakers trainer Gary Vitti suggested that Steve Nash should be on a tight minutes cap next season. Nash is expected to show up to training camp for the 2013-14 season at 100 percent. The problem is that he'll turn 40 years old in February, and is no longer capable of chasing the league's point guards around screens. Nash just gets too beat up. "Figure out the appropriate minutes that put him in a successful situation," Vitti said. "The example I use is Robert Horry, where we played him a lot of minutes, and it was difficult for him to recover and be productive at his age. But he goes to San Antonio, plays 18 minutes a game, and the guy was an unbelievable force off the bench for them. I think if we figure out how best to use Steve, he can be the same way." Nash is going to be a low-upside fantasy play next season. Jun 14

	3	Chris Duhon
SG	1	Kobe Bryant Sidelined A source tells ESPN Los Angeles that Kobe Bryant wants to play at least two more seasons. Kobe is coming off an Achilles' tendon tear and entering the final year of a contract that will pay him $30.4 million in 2013-14. Working out an extension will be difficult, but it's hard to see the Lakers turning their back on one of the greatest players in NBA history. Bryant will turn 35 in August. Jun 14
	2	Jodie Meeks Sidelined Jodie Meeks says his ankle should be OK in 4-6 weeks. Meeks suffered a partial ligament tear in his ankle and only played in Game 1 of the Lakers' opening-round series loss, but he should be fine for training camp. "[The ankle] feels all right," he said in late April. "I will have a full recovery and I will be ready for next season." Apr 29
	3	Darius Morris
	4	Andrew Goudelock
SF	1	Metta World Peace
	2	Antawn Jamison Sidelined Antawn Jamison finally had his exit interview with GM Mitch Kupchak on Thursday, a source told ESPN Los Angeles. No matter how it's spun publicly, Jamison won't be back with the Lakers next season. He clashed with Mike D'Antoni, never lived up to the hype and averaged a measly 9.4 points. May 3
	3	Devin Ebanks
PF	1	Pau Gasol Sidelined Lakers trainer Gary Vitti said Pau Gasol (knees) has zero pain in his left tendon and is almost pain-free in his right tendon. The stem cell injections Gasol received in each of his knees weren't especially invasive, so the rehab should be rapid. Still, he's just one month into a three-month rest period. Gasol's health will be a story to watch at training camp. Jun 14

C	1	Dwight Howard
