EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Its Peace out for the Los Angeles Lakers. They waived Metta World Peace on Thursday under the NBAs amnesty provision, which will save the team about $15 million in luxury tax.

One of the highlights of his time with the Lakers was his clutch play in Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, which helped them beat Boston for the franchises 16th championship.

Young previously played in Los Angeles for the Clippers, and was with Washington during his six-year NBA career. ' ' '
