Metta World Peace (6'7''-F-79, college: St.John's) has joined the Los Angeles Lakers' NBA G League affiliate as a player development coach. The veteran NBA forward was added to the South Bay Lakers' staff on Monday. World Peace played 17 NBA seasons for six franchises, including six years with the Lakers from 2009 to 2013 and again from 2015 to 2017. He was a standout defensive player who won a championship alongside Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol in 2010. While he hasn't publicly retired, the forward formerly known as Ron Artest will assist South Bay Lakers head coach Coby Karl and his staff. World Peace earned the longest suspension in NBA history for his role in the Indiana Pacers' infamous brawl in the stands at Detroit in November 2004, but he matured into a valued veteran leader for the Lakers.

G League players will be receiving a significant salary increase next season, according to Marc Stein of The New York Times. All G League contracts for 2018/19 will pay $35K [$7K for each of the league's five months], along with housing costs and insurance benefits. The league had been paying $26K or $19K, depending on players' classifications. All G League salaries are covered by the NBA. Athletes will still be able to earn affiliate player bonuses that can pay up to $44K. Those are given to players who attend training camp with an NBA team, then become part of that franchise's G League affiliate. Two-way contracts will remain in effect and will carry a salary of $77,250 that is prorated for the amount of time spent in the G League. Two-way players receive a minimum rookie salary while they are in the NBA, which is capped at 45 days. The new figure is a slight increase from $75K this season, and Stein notes that the maximum potential salary for two-way players next year will be $385K. Two-way contracts were introduced this season and proved to be very popular, with 83 players signing them. The G League will expand to 27 teams in 2018/19, with Wizards becoming the latest franchise to add an an affiliate. The only organizations remaining without a direct affiliate are the Nuggets, Pelicans and Trail Blazers. Courtesy of: hoopsrumors.com
