    Kobe's going to love his hustle. He will be starting - just wait and see.

    Until Kobe retires Black won't be able to average 20 and 10. Black will be what they hoped Dwight to be.

    "The Los Angeles Lakers claimed rookie center Tarik Black off waivers on Sunday, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

    The Lakers waived injured forward Xavier Henry to clear a roster spot for Black, sources said. …

    Black has a non-guaranteed deal of $500,000 owed him for the season, and the Lakers will possess a team option of $845,000 on his deal for the 2015-16 season."

    Tarik, you'll get lots of offensive rebounds if the point guards shoot

    I'm happy he was picked up, I don't like the Lakers, but this guy definitely deserves his shot in the NBA! Undrafted player who made it to a roster spot.

    Lakers love our back-up big men--first, Jordan Hill; now, Tarik Black.

    Of course, we got Dwight Howard from them.

    Good luck to Tarik. Play hard against all those Western contenders.

    Good to hear he is going to a terrible team. Hope he can get some stats and earn himself a nice contract.

    He's going to get a lot of playing time, the Laker's Bigs are awful.

    Well, they're 20% done fielding a roster of all Rockets castoffs.
