METTA World Peace looks to again suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers, getting a one-year contract.

The two were part of two NBA championship teams.
The 36-year old forward played limited minutes last season and is expected to help provide a solid locker room presence for the team’s young core.
"I'm excited about everything. I'm prepared to help the young guys grow. To play, everything," said World Peace who averaged 5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 35 games.
