We drafted a question mark in zu and black was a rfa. We needed a center at that point.
Have any of the 2016 FA centers we had a chance to get played well this year?
Aldrich, Dedmon, Hibbert,, Nene, Reed, Bogut/Monroe all have a higher PER than Mozgov except Bogut and I'm pretty sure Bogut's impact would have gone far beyond #'s on defense and passing.
All of those guys have played limited minutes and games this year and come off the bench...
Mozgov is a starting center in the NBA imo...That doesn't mean hes as good as Deandre or Gasol etc. it just means he is good enough to start on a competitive team.
There is no reason for us to play MOZ we are trying to tank and develop the young guys to see what we have in terms of assests..
We have to reload over the summer, hopefully get a pick to really accelerate the process...

I'm still hoping that Mozzer's pride leads to a buyout. I don't care how much money he is getting, it has got to hurt to be completely healthy and not even get off the bench for weeks.
Can you imagine if he does not play all next season either? He might just want a buy out. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss

Really! Or just relax and enjoy life cashing 16m per year like a true former NBA Champ. We may see how next year vodka, caviar and beautiful russian girls took a toll from his already not so impressive physical attibutes.
I can't understand why he did this and the Deng contract...
I can understand to a certain extant, considering needing to reach the cap floor and veteran presence.
On the other hand, they really rushed both deals when there were other possibilities out there. _________________ LeBron, AD, & _________. Stay tuned.

Could've used him today tbh
Time is better used as a learning experience for Zub though
True, true. His contract will be bloated compared to his playing time, but we still need him, especially as Zu needs to develop the stamina to play more minutes and over the course of a full season. _________________ LeBron, AD, & _________. Stay tuned.

One thing is for sure he will be easier to move than Deng _________________ "Bryant has been the second best player in the NBA for over a decade, but the number 1 player changes every other year.

As far as recruiting, he made a courtesy phonecall, right? I've never understood how that places him on the same hook.

Moz is good to have off the bench, so obviously not at the
current price tag...the problem is not Moz, it's the contract
he was granted... _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !

Truly pissed off with Luke. And he pushed for Mozgov instead of Harrison Barnes.
Mind just blown.
Well when he was a restricted free agent the Lakers didn't want to try, and in fact they stayed away from him thanks to that awful finals series he had. Also if we are developing Ingram we really don't need Barnes.

I forgot about that interview (remember reading it now). Yeah, it's pretty mind blowing that an NBA assistant coach could be that off on a player assessment. He seems to be under the impression that Moz is a good passer.

Lets not forget the possibility Luke was NOT aware of the contract details.
I would like to look towards the future (bleak as it is), and identify how we can cut salary in which we can sign (1) MAX player in '18 or '19. Long as we have the cap space to do that, I'm okay.

Essentially the toilet is clogged and overflowing and Magic and Pelinka have to come in and deal with it.

We should have passed on all the high priced bigs and looked for guys like Aldrich,Dedmon or guys through trade like Bogut/Monroe _________________ "He's a Zen master, so he can speak to you, and he doesn't need a microphone; you can hear him in your head, 'Ron, don't shoot, don't shoot.'

Well Magic has said he's planning to rely on Luke's word heavily. Maybe that isn't such a good idea.
Moz isn't even an average passer. Did Shaw lead him astray?
