Fantasy Analysis
Turiaf got some added playing time due to the injury to Andrew Bynum that sidelined him for most of the season. He stands to lose minutes in 2008-09 in L.A. with Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol around and is only going to be worth a late-round pick in Fantasy drafts. (Updated 07/01/2008).
The Lakers will not match the offer sheet given to Turiaf, meaning the forward will play for Golden State next season, ESPN.com reported Friday. Golden State offered Turiaf a four-year, $17 million contract offer, which would have boosted the Lakers' payroll past the luxury tax. (Updated 07/18/2008)
