Lynch Agrees to Contract : Lakers: First-round draft pick to sign five-year deal, his agent says.

George Lynch, the Lakers’ first-round pick in the June draft and the 12th pick overall, has agreed to a five-year contract, one of his representatives said Thursday.

According to the agent, who asked to remain unidentified, Lynch’s deal is comparable to the contract signed by last year’s 12th pick, Harold Miner of USC.

Miner signed with the Miami Heat for an average of $1.4 million per year, “and you can use that for a model and take into account where the market has gone,” said the agent, who works for the Washington-based firm Advantage International. “Everyone is very happy. It’s actually all done and has been done for a while.”

The Lakers apparently have delayed an official announcement until Lynch can sign some minor clauses in the contract and negotiations shape up with several of the the team’s free agents.

Lynch, a 6-foot-8 forward, averaged 12.5 points and 7.8 rebounds in four years at North Carolina. He’s regarded by the Lakers as an eventual successor to A.C. Green, a role Lynch might assume soon if Green and the Lakers don’t agree on a new contract.

Green’s agent, Marc Fleisher, reported no change in his client’s situation. The Lakers are holding to the second of two proposals they’ve made--one that would pay Green about $3.6 million the first season--but Fleisher is seeking more.

Green, an unrestricted free agent, has also received offers from Phoenix and Philadelphia. He visited San Antonio this week, but only to play in David Robinson’s golf tournament. Green did not talk with the Spurs, Fleisher said.

The status of Sedale Threatt, another unrestricted free agent, also remains unsettled. Threatt’s agent, Jimmy Sexton, said he is scheduled to talk by phone with Laker General Manager Jerry West today in hopes of discussing the club’s lone proposal. Sexton said the sides are “far apart.”

Sexton added: “If we could find the right deal, we might (go elsewhere), but there’s just been so little movement out there because there’s so few (large) salary slots open. Sedale has enjoyed his years with the Lakers, but he’s been way underpaid. . . . It’s just been sort of slow with us. We’ll see what they say (today).”
