Lakers formally sign Bass, 2nd-round pick Brown

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - The Los Angeles Lakers have signed forward Brandon Bass and second-round draft pick Anthony Brown.

The Lakers announced the signings Thursday, in addition to guard Lou Williams.

Bass is a 10-year NBA veteran who should bring stability to the Lakers, who are coming off the worst season in franchise history.

Bass averaged 10.6 points and 4.9 rebounds last season with Boston. He spent the last four years with the Celtics after previously playing in New Orleans, Dallas and Orlando.

Brown was the 34th overall pick in last month's draft out of Stanford.
