Lakers forward-center Ronny Turiaf agreed to a four-year, $17 million offer from the Golden State Warriors, according to two league sources.

With the Los Angeles Lakers unlikely to match the four-year, $17 million offer from the Warriors, us Laker fans are filled with mixed emotions.

We’re overjoyed that there’s a team (other than the Lakers) willing to overpay a player who’s nothing more than a glorified reserve. And yes, I’m now allowed to call Ronny Turiaf a glorified reserve since he’ll no longer be a Los Angeles Laker. But then again, we’re saddened that our glorified reserve is ripped from our heart (no pun intended) and placed on a conference rival. Then boom, just like that, we’re happy again once we realise what Ronny has overcame in his life and where he stands today in terms of his health and professional career. But thinking about his professional career saddens us again when we realise we won’t be able to look at the Laker bench after a thunderous Kobe Bryant dunk and see #21getting Jiggy Wit It by himself or with his towel. But ultimately in the end, we’re happy because even if Ronny isn’t the most deserving player of a 4-year, $17 million contract, he’s by far the most deserving person.
