Another day, another Lakers signing. C.J. Giles, a forward out of Oregon State, signed with the Lakers Friday, a day after Brandon Heath, bringing the number of players on their roster to 20. Not all have signed, however. Giles spent two seasons as Kansas before transferring to Oregon State, where he average 6.3 points and 5.6 rebounds last season. Of all the players the Lakers have signed this summer - Dwayne Mitchell, Josh Powell, Sun Yue, Joe Crawford, Heath and Giles, only Powell's and Sun's contract are guaranteed. Training camps open September 30 and competition for the roster spot should be fierce among the newest players. The backcourt are crammed and Giles will be looking for a spot behind Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, and Trevor Ariza, Vladimir Radmonovic and Ira Newble. Newble, a free agent, however, might have seen his last game as a Laker.
