Kent Bazemore Contradicts Previous Statement, Preaching Loyalty To Stephen Curry, By Signing With Lakers For Less

Kent Bazemore’s free agency was over quickly, due to him agreeing to a 1-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers at the beginning of this year’s free agency.  

According to Shams Charania, Bazemore even turned down more money and a longer contract from the Golden State Warriors, who would have liked to keep him on board.

Bazemore though, believes that he will have a bigger role and opportunity to win a championship in Los Angeles. Interestingly enough this contradicts a previous statement of Bazemore in which he claimed his loyalty to Stephen Curry.
