not sure how your response correlates with my statement...I am specifically referencing 2 players shooting 3 pointers.....not related to what other things they do or why they were brought here. |

how does this relate to fans reactions to the players taking 3 point attempts....why discourage one shooter who is a better shooter and already takes less attempts, while encouraging another shooter to take more even though he is a poorer shooter who already takes more attempts? |

Brook was brought here to stretch the floor and allow Randle to pick apart the other teams inside that no longer have a big guarding the paint or it leaving Lopez wide open.
It was a way of taking advantage of what Randle does well while at the same time having a center that can play off him and would lessen the need for Randle to be a knockdown shooter as he continues to work on his jump shot as it comes along as it would allow them to both play their games.
THAT is why Lopez was brought in.
It was Luke's idea to literally never take advantage of that because he has a mancrush on Nance.

Lopez was "brought in" because he had a big expiring contract to replace Mozgov. Getting Lopez as a player, as SI put it, was "an afterthought." |

I was explaining why we are more disappointed with Lopez clanking his 3s. |

Ah yes the "Lopez was just gotten to free space next season with never any intention of keeping him or implementing how he fits into our offense" defense.
If the Lakers did that for free agents that aren't even guaranteed to come, they're stupid.
So either the FO is stupid or the coach is incompetent.
Either way, it won't look good.

Icing? Speak for yourself  If Lonzo couldn't shoot 3s in college I would have been completely out on him.

The Brook Lopez trade was a huge mistake my Magic and Rob.
DeAngelo Russell is scoring 21 PPG for the Nets and Mosgov is doing what Lopez is doing.
So gave up a promising second pick possible all star for cap space.
Getting to think Magic and Rob ain't better than the previous guys.
At least they gave hope in tanking. |

... and if/when Paul George gets signed into that “space”?
Are Magic and Pelinka still losers in that trade? |

The problem is we could have easily carved space for 1 max player. The line that was sold is that trading DLO/Moz opened up a chance (still would have to make some serious cap clearing moves) for a 2nd max player.

DLO is now scoring nothing per game because he is out due to knee surgery- a factor that I think surely influenced the FO's decision to move him.
Mozgov is doing nothing just like Brook but he is on the books for doing nothing for 2 more years than Brook so that is why the trade was made. To clear out bad money. IMO brook will not be back unless it is for a far cheaper contract.
Plus we got Kuz or Hart out of the deal who are pretty good.

He does possess skills that he had to work hard on. He does have some post moves and can be a decent outside shooter.
He is just too slow for the modern NBA.

It's really too soon to tell. We were told it was to have cap space for 2018, so we need to wait until at least then.

It is too soon to tell but lets say we did keep DLO this year and he went out with the knee surgery like he has done with the Nets, don't you think that would have hurt his trade value? Maybe we moved him at the right time possibly for the wrong reason?

He's not out for the season, is he? And he put up some impressive numbers for a 3rd year guard. Again, too soon to tell.

Is this game some kind of performance art piece from Brook?

Because 1 is a rookie PG who needs to develop this year as was the goal set forth before the season started. The other is a veteran center. Pretty obvious why people are ok with one guy shooting 3s over the other. |

in a 3 min period Brooke:
Ran away from LeBron
Air balled 2 free throws
Blew an easy dunk
Good god. What's with us getting "all star" guys immediately before they fall off? |

I don't understand why he plays if you're gonna end up benching him for the rest of the game after a 5-6 minutes stint in the 2nd half.
It's just dumb at this point. You know he's a liability yet you continue to allow him to be one. |
