Only 26 years old! The Lakers old player leaves the NBA: $600,000 in 1 year to go to the Turkish League to make gold

On August 9, another Lakers' old player left the NBA. According to multiple reporters, 26-year-old Cole Sweed will join the Turkish League Anatolia Effis. The two sides have signed a contract for one year and their salary is expected to be 600,000 US dollars.

Previously, the famous reporter Stein reported that Kerr Sweed was close to joining the Turkish League Anatolia Effis. Today, European basketball reporter Mihalis Stefanou reported that Sweed will sign with Effis for one year and his salary is expected to be 600,000 US dollars.

Sweed represented the Lakers in the Summer League this summer, showing his three-point skills on the Summer League stage, averaging 29.7 minutes per game to score 17.6 points, 7 rebounds and 1.6 assists, and averaged 3.6 three-pointers per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%. However, after the Summer League ended, he did not win the favor of NBA teams. Now he can only leave the NBA and go to the Turkish League to play.

Sweed was undrafted in 2022. After undraft, he signed a two-way contract with the Lakers. He was cut after playing for only one season for the Lakers. After that, he played in the Heat, the Pistons and the Raptors, playing in a total of 35 regular season games, averaging only 3.1 points per game, shooting percentage of 36.4, three-point shooting percentage of 32.9% and free throw shooting percentage of 66.7%.

This summer, many NBA marginal players such as Sweed, Brandon Boston, Lonny Walker, Sheik Milton went to other leagues to make gold. It has to be said that in an era of many geniuses, it is really difficult for a role player to maintain his NBA job.
