Just days before NBA teams open training camps, former Utah Runnin' Ute Andrew Bogut agreed to a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The first overall pick in 2005 will receive a veteran minimum, which will be up to $2-3 million with nothing guaranteed. Last season, the 7-footer was signed by Cleveland then suffered a broken leg in his first game with the Cavs and was out for the season.

Kyle Kuzma, another Utah alum who was drafted by the Lakers this summer, tweeted a shout-out to Bogut after the signing.

Later, former Ute Delon Wright, now with the Toronto Raptors, replied to Kuzma, referencing teammate Jakob Poeltl.

Kuzma had one more retort.
