True. Unless coaches want him to play some PF. |

A 30 yr old man should have the wherewithal to not play games with a teenager. That said, Young should've been traded, or cut, long ago due to the diminished returns on his game. Like others have said he should've never been re-signed in the first place. Hold on, what the (bleep) does this have to do with the draft? Oh yeah, not a (bleep) ing thing. |
The diminished return on his game was the same as every other Laker, Byron Scott. Nick played well under MDA and I think will play well in Luke's system. |
This.
I'd say give him until the trade deadline. He's a happy player.. Byron took his joy away.. Luke already mentioned that he's going to make the game fun for his players.
Nick is capable of passing the ball and isn't shy to shoot the ball.. if you watch golden state.. pretty much everyone has the green light to shoot.
At his price and with the cap going up.. he's a value. People need to put aside their love for dangelo Russell (because he's literally the only reason people want him gone. His contract isn't terrible) and think about how well he played under dantoni. That kind of production off the bench is huge.

Nick Young has to go. I've seen him a few times here at Northridge 24 with Gilbert Arenas. He's one cocky m'fer. He acts like he's better than he really is on and off the court. He's not a good influence around the younger players. Need to go the trailblazer route, get rid of the bad apple and start a new culture, thats starts by letting Nick go. |

I hope you're right, provided he stays, but I have serious doubts and reservations. He's still a fool for closing around with someone who won't be able to buy a pack of cigarettes in less than six months. |

My want for Nick Young to be gone has less to do with DLO and more to do with the erosion of his game. If Luke can resurrect the picked over carcass that is his career then bully for the Lakers. It's just Nick seems more interested in Twitter and Instagram than getting back into the rotation. |

Nick Young sucks and deserves not to be mentioned for this new roster going forward. He's not what this team needs. He's a clown, dumb as dirt and can't back up his mouth with his game.
Good riddance.
Have to be dumb to even consider this guy back. They need to cut him or ship him out for cents on the dollar if need be.

The Warriors paid $2.4 million to the Bucks to get the 38th pick. The Lakers couldn't do that?

If 24 he should be ready to contribute right away. |
Zubac is 19 yr old. He won't be able to contribute right away.
a 24 year old center you read somewhere is Moustapho Fall.
He is a 7'2" center with 7'6" wingspan/9'7" standing reach who can move
like a average PF with good motor. but he started bball when he was 17 yrs old, so he is still very raw eventhough he is 24.
Very interesting prospect nevertheless. Imo, a guy with that size and length who can move like that should be looked upon. |
Are you his agent? lol You keep mentioning him. |
I will stop I promise. Just that I was so intrigued by this guy and wanted to find more info about him. but no one seems to know or care. Oh well.
I just thought he could turn into what Upshaw last year supposed to become, you know what I mean? but seriously, I will stop

Damn, why couldn't the Lakers do this? |
Look at it from Payton's perspective. His chances of making the Lakers 15 man roster would be close to zero given their current personnel. |
Because we stupidly reached on Anthony Brown and then gave him a multi-year contract.
I would take GPII over Brown. |
Jury is out on Anthony Brown. Yes, he bricked a lot of open jumpers. But he played good defense, and frankly being a low-confidence 3 point shooter in (bleep) Byron Scott's system? Good luck.
Let's hold off on calling it a stupid reach, yeah? Danny Green was a similar scrub for a few years. |
I personally don't expect much from Brown and prepared to let him go.
But you are absolutely right. How can anyone expect a rookie to play in a D league then all of sudden called upon to debut and guard KD the next day and suceed? That was the story of AB last season in nutshell. His min. was jerked around more than anyone in the team (T. Black suffered same ill treatment). As a shooter, he never established any kind of rhythm. He needs to own up to his poor performance, but BS also made everything harder than it could. |

| I think Nick Young is gone before the start of next season, one way or another. There just seems to be too much bad blood with him and D'Angelo now and he's almost like an outsider on this squad. I think if the whole video thing never happens he could have been an intriguing option going forward with Luke but I will be very, very surprised if the FO don't cut their losses and either stretch him or trade him. Didn't he actually say in his exit presser that he was expecting to be moved? |

I don't think the bolded is correct. One of the whispers I am hearing is that the Lakers were not enamored with his work ethic and attitude last season.
He seems to be working hard this summer, we will see in October if the results are obvious compared to the end of last season.
DLO has a lot to prove this season, he definitely has both fervent supporters and loud critics both in LakerLand and nationally.
