Oh goodness please trade him. There is no way Sacre should be starting when Black is on the team. It seems the only way to have BS put out a proper starting lineup is to remove the temptation. SACRE should not be starting.

Ok well, I hope that Sacre is starting so that he can put up some numbers and then be traded. Maybe BS is on to something. Go team Tank!

Seems like all Lakers fans want to do is trade every marginal player on the team for players in the draft that will more than likely be marginal players, just 2 years behind? Seriously, I do not understand where some of you think of your logic. Sacre is the quintessential back up center talent. Jordan Hill is a 6th and 7th player off the bench on a set team. If you trade these players you lose if they just for protected drat picks in the late 1st and 2nd rounds.

He's a lower tier backup center. He would be a quintessential 3rd center.

I don't think Sacre alone can get you much..... I believe if you added Kelly in the deal + HOU's 1st round pick... then the Lakers might have a chance at a really good role-player.

Back in the 90's and before. Now-a-days, you are lucky to have 2. Heck, some don't even have one. I do not know of any team in the league that have 3 legit centers on their roster.

Did anyone notice that Sacre is an anagram for Scare?

It describes my mindset when he is on the floor quite well.

j/k...he's actually a pretty serviceable big.

The idea is that we need to rebuild and get assets with potential. Hill can get us assets and he is not really all that great. He makes $9 mil a season, rookie contracts are much cheaper and can potentially grow into a better player than Hill.

Sacre is bad and will always be bad. If we can trade him and get assets, then all the better. We would be foolish to not move him if we can get ANYTHING for him. Seriously, have you seen him play? He is awful, he does not rebound or play defense. All he can do is hit a mid range jumper. A waste of a 7 footer. Tarik Black should be getting all of his minutes and playing time. We need more players like Black and less like Hill and Sacre.

I agree that he is a bad player relatively speaking. He doesn't offer much utility on either end of the floor. He can't score and he seems to get faked and abused alot on defense.I'm inclined to believe the Lakers will either move Sacre before the trade deadline or not pick up his paltry $900k option after this season. Either way, Sacre is not a huge concern. If the Lakers can somehow keep their 4 lottery picks, i'm sure they'll use one of those as an option to get another"more serviceable" center.

8 rebounds is still pathetic considering the size the Knicks have in there FC......

let's get this right... the reason why Sacre is still with the Lakers... is because everyone is offering nothing but a sliced walnut chocolate cake....

Sacre sucks. He has been in the league for what 3 years?, he is no better than he was when he was drafted.

Well, you get what you pay for. He was the last player selected overall in the 2012 draft. If we can't get a center that offers more margin at a reasonable price, i say hold on to Rob Sacre. After all, he is at least a serviceable 7 footer. And he's being paid peanuts.

Drafted at the same position as Isaiah Thomas.

Not sure why everyone is hating on Sacre all the sudden...

No, he's not a starting C. He makes a minimum contract. He's our backup or 3rd string C who plays hard.

He shouldn't be starting at C right now, Tarik should.

I still want Sacre back next year given how cheap his contract is.

Sacre works in a situation where he knows his role. A limited role. A "just rebound and play defense" role.

Not true...I didn't care for him last year as well.

I don't sweat out minimum contract players. Young guys, hungry, playing hard and giving you serviceable minutes, especially when we are in tank mode. If he stays fine, if we use him as a sweetener to move Hill, Nash and get back a 1st rounder then I am all for that.

Once we start paying a guy $3 million or more and we get chump effort and stats, then I start whining. Till then, they are just the 10-14 places on the roster.

Probably not, but he's not that far off. He's that useless.

Nah, he's a third string center. On a good team he would be waiving that towel from the bench during games, working hard during practice, and occasionally stepping in for backup duty due to injury or fouls. On a good team that's a valuable commodity, at the minimum salary. He's not an impact player, but a hold the fort guy.

The fact that he's going against starters on a tank team, playing way above his pay grade shouldn't make you judge him as a starter. As a third stringer, very effective.

I'm not sure what you'd actually get for him other than a heavily protected 2nd you may never actually get to use. They're only paying him about 400k above what the cap hold would be for his spot next year. It's possible Black is next years backup C and Sacre provides insurance behind him. If the right FA demands the extra 400K I have no issue with giving Sacre away though if someone wants him.
