LOS ANGELES (AP)?
Shannon Brown(notes) is returning to the
Los Angeles Lakers, turning down more lucrative offers for a shot at a third straight championship.
Brown?s agent, Mark Bartelstein, told The Associated Press on Thursday that the high-flying free agent guard agreed to a two-year deal worth $4.6 million to return for his third season with Los Angeles.
?He?s been there two years, and they?ve won two championships,? Bartelstein said. ?There?s very few times you have a chance to go for a threepeat. When you have that opportunity, he couldn?t pass it up.?
