Eh Lopez has been ok. He's had like 3 good games and a bunch of mediocre ones. |

But I don’t worry about him getting a huge long term deal elsewhere. Maybe at most 10-12m a year. |
I would say going to another team seems right. Use the room on a shooter. |
I agree. Think Swag El or someone of that nature. |

The amount of pages in this thread resembles his game. Unexciting and less than expected. |

While I'm not a huge fan of Lopez, I am amazed at the amount of hate for a guy after a 19/10/4/3 game where he had the second best (by 2 points) +/- on the team. |

On my part it isn’t hate, unless we return a similar roster next season he just won’t fit. I was happy we got him for this season but think that we might have better options next season. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

why isn't he a better rebounder. 4.8 reb this year so far. a 7 footer should be getting at least 7-8 rpg |

In not so important season with low expectations he is OK. But anything beyond that I do not want him in lakers uniform. Awful with the beards, slow as hell. he is making also really stupid turnovers all the time. Taking too much threes IMO. He is just not the guy to have in team who wants to win big. Sorry but he isn't. |

I'm not saying he's quick, but slow as hell? He's average for a guy this size.

Lopez has been solid. And doing exactly as expected. If he will stay healthy and continues as he has been
Some say slow - but look even at the highlight reels. Yes, he turns and moves slow, but still gets by his defender. And on D contests well and helps also OK.
IMHO he uses his slowness very well. _________________ .

He does. Slowest drives to the basket but somehow he gets off a decent shot most of the time. And he has such a soft touch. |

Seriously, we're probably better off starting Thomas Bryant. At least get someone who can move their feet.
Brook's 1/5 3 pt shooting isn't a difference maker for him to continue jacking up shots and getting beat off the dribble. |

We should look to trade Lopez if it means we can get back other expiring and a pick.
When he's not hitting shots, he's costing us games. |

Why can't we shut him down Mozgov-style? |

I'm done with him. He's pretty much useless out there. Worst defender on the team. |

Either he lost his confidence in his 3 or the coaches told him not to shoot.
Either way. Pathetic today |

Horrible game from Lopez. Got killed by Zach in the first quarter, bricked his shots, and the King's just attacked him on pick and rolls or perimeter isos after the switch and scored over and over to start the fourth, putting the game away. Had me screaming at my screen for Luke to pull him, but nope, just let the damage pile up. |

Just wait until we play Golden State. They did this to him over and over again last year. Curry and Durant just took turns abusing him. |
