The Laker roster became crystallized Monday, with an old-timer on the way out and an undrafted rookie surviving the final cut.

Eleven-year veteran Corie Blount was waived by the Lakers, meaning Devin Green beat tough odds to make the team after going undrafted out of Hampton.

"He's been a big surprise to us," Phil Jackson said.

Green, however, was later placed on the Lakers' inactive list and could be a candidate for the Development League. Guard Von Wafer, the Lakers' second-round pick, was also placed on the inactive list, as was injured forward Luke Walton.

Under the new collective bargaining agreement, teams will have an active 12-man roster and can carry up to three more players on an inactive list. (The injured list ceases to exist.)
