Brian Shaw ended the suspense Sunday, declining more lucrative offers to re-sign with the Lakers, four days after the team waived him in a cost-cutting move.
Shaw signed a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum of $1 million. The Lakers, who needed to shed salary to avoid the NBA's luxury tax, saved $1.3 million in the process.

The move general manager Mitch Kupchak called "a calculated risk" paid off, although the process turned out to be more stressful than anyone anticipated. Shaw felt hurt and briefly considered signing elsewhere for a few hundred thousand more, according to the LA Daily News.

"He wasn't happy about it," Kupchak said, "but he understood."

Shaw, nursing a cold, did not attend Sunday night's game but will rejoin the team for its next practice, either today or Tuesday.
