News from August 13. Minnesota named Sidney Lowe as an assistant coach. The LA Lakers signed Ime Udoka. New York signed 2nd round draft pick (#30) Majiej Lampe to a 3 year, $2.88 million contract. Lampe had a $2 million buyout clause with Real Madrid and New York can only pay $350,000 towards the buyout, so Real Madrid and Lampe are working on a considerably less buyout and terms for the buyout. The LA Clippers signed rookie free agent Marcus Hatten. Milwaukee named Mike Schuler as an assistant coach. Portland named John Loyer and Bernard Smith as assistant coaches. Toronto signed Rick Brunson and George Williams. Maceo Baston signed with Tel-Aviv of Israel. [thanks to Pete, Calvin Chen, and Guy]
