Well, good luck Brook. He was a nice guy and a good player. We'll miss his three (especially on NBA2k ) |

Amazing how little value Cs have in the market now. |
He isn't strong enough. He'll get bullied down there.
He can play spot minutes. I'm thinking there is another plan in place. We'll see. |

What also irks me about this is this deal would have a low cap hold next year, too. |

I have a suspicion they are getting into to go with a fair amount of Kuzma. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

They must have a lot of faith in Zubac, unless there's some free agency signing that the Lakers are aiming for. _________________ This game's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jell-O's jigglin'! |

I think Lebron is going to play 10-15 minutes per game at C this year, similar to Draymond. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

What do you guys think of the Bucks summer league center Christian Wood? Showing lots of potential as a young run swat and shoot center. Looked good to me a couple years ago and still does to me now. Cheap center addition😀 |

If that's true, I'm super confused. I like this FO and trust them (even if I don't understand all the moves so far), but what's the plan here?
Zu bout to get some serious minutes, I guess. |
Thats the thinking I see from management. Gotta give those young players playing time if you want to see them progress. |

just sign melo and play him at the 4....put lebron at center from time to time and give melo's zubacks and mcgee minutes versus certain teams..melo can be our 6th man and he'll still get a lot of playing time. if he's understandable, i'll bring him in.
btw, i like lopez but his lack of speed was a liability at times and you can tell the lakers arent going for that. but melo definitely fits into their position less basketball..and would make us more dangerous if he buys in. |

Thanks for your efforts last season, Brook! Those games where you were on a roll were awesome. |

I wont be losing sleep over this. Was never a fan of his weak game, a center who can't grab a rebound. And worst of all, he never knew when to stop shooting when his shot was off. Some players need to keep shooting when they miss, he isn't one of them players. |

He was also a sneaky ball hog. Holds the ball for 6+ seconds and constantly throws up awkward contested shots. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

We do need a starting C, Mo can’t handle NBA C’s. He can hardly
keep up with the summer league ones. Unless McGee & Zu are getting
assignment, good luck, we need a C. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !

So dumb. Probably gonna be the worst three-point shooting team in the league...again. This team is really going to struggle to score at times. I literally have no idea what they’re doing. This is just inept team building. It doesn’t make sense.
What I’m fearful of now is that this weird “plan” in how they’ve constructed the roster will be such an enormous failure that the team will struggle from the get go, LeBron will be frustrated, and they’ll end up having to sacrifice some of the youth to add shooting and undo this incoherent way they’ve built the roster. Ugh. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

For some odd reason I agree. It's too many people assuming he's automatic with our remaining cap space. I really hope I'm wrong. |
