Lakers forward Adam Morrison is entering the final year of his rookie contract.

Due to make $5.2 million this season, the former Gonzaga star is aware that his NBA career is on the line.

"It's definitely a big year for me personally, as far as contract years always are," Morrison told the Los Angeles Times.

The Lakers have a loaded lineup, which will make it even tougher for Morrison to work his way into the lineup of the defending champions.

"It's going to be tough minutes to find on this team, obviously, with such talent that we have," he said. "Hopefully I can find a way in."
