Combo guard Troy Daniels says it was a “no-brainer” to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency despite only getting the vet minimum.

Daniels received interest from the Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors as well, but signed with the Lakers so he could compete for a championship for the first time in his NBA career.

“The Lakers were the first to come with an offer. It was a vet minimum deal, but it was almost a no-brainer,” Daniels told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype. “They’re trying to build a championship team for this season and opportunities like that don’t come along very often. I felt like it was the best decision for my career. You can make a big name for yourself by playing well on the big stages, as I did in my rookie year [with the Houston Rockets].

“If I get another opportunity like that, I just have to take advantage of it. Coming in, I don’t really know the plan [as far as playing time]. Everybody feels like they know who’s going to play and who isn’t going to play, but at the end of the day, you have to go out there and earn it. I’ve built my career on that. It doesn’t really matter how much or when I’m going to play; whatever opportunity I get, I’m going to be ready.”

Troy Daniels signed a one-year deal with the Lakers worth $2.03 million.

Daniels will space the floor for the Lakers with his shooting. The 28-year-old is a career 40.0 percent shooter from beyond the arc.

This past season with the Phoenix Suns, Daniels averaged 6.2 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 41.1 percent from the field, 38.1 percent from the 3-point line and 78.3 percent from the charity stripe.

The Lakers have done a good job of surrounding LeBron James and Anthony Davis with shooters. Daniels, Danny Green, Jared Dudley and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are all guys who can hit the 3-ball at a high rate.
