I've had time to think about this signing and I think he will be a major piece of the team if healthy.
Having him and Lopez is like having two Rooks on the board. |

hmmm . this is just another obvious sign lebron is coming to our Lakers and we need a big in place since we are not re signing lopez to bring on 2-3 max contracts. |
Bogut signed a one year deal, it is likely he isn’t here next season |
Why? At this point in his career he doesn't seem like he's worth more than the vet min. They should have a chance to resign him. |

Yeah. If we get 2 max players, he may stay as a ring chaser.
I'm encouraged by the KCP/Bogut signings that we are becoming a destination once again. Both players had other suitors but chose LA. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

realistically, the lakers suck and still get their coverage.
It's great for guys looking to increase their worth in a short amount of time.
The difference now is a front office team on the same page and ready to "run their mouths" about it to steer the narrative. This is a great sign as evidenced by the extremely optimistic.
Reality is FO has brought in win-win situations. Short contracts, good team guys to help our rookies and the hunger to do well to get a better contract asap and there's nothing wrong with any of it.
Bogut is a champion big that was a big part of a small ball team. Bogut is great for our entire roster; it wasn't just for zubac. To be honest i think his biggest influence will be on Lopez (reads/reactions) and that will benefit lonzo just the same to have a couple bigs running their position correctly from day1. _________________ KOBE!!! |

Night and day difference. We went from Sacre on the bench to Bogut.
We went from 4 year contracts with no team options to 1 year contracts or less with partial guarantees.
Too bad Jeanie could not oust Jimbo before the Mozdeng disasters. Jim was just such a horrible executive. Damn spoiled rich kid/adult with his torn jeans and mullet. So glad he is gone. _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

Jeanie could have but didn’t. She needed the reason to do so and was willing to let things get to that point. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I know VLF, everything happens for a reason bud! It is just sad that it took hubris on that level to get him fired. And I don't blame Mitch, he was just taking orders.
But the new FO has done a great job navigating around the bad contracts so far. I can't wait to see what they have up their sleeves for Deng! _________________ R.I.P. Doc Buss |

Hubris is right. I wouldn't have minded Jim if he hired basketball minds to make the basketball decisions. He miscalculated his own abilities as an executive. |

They already updated the Lakers roster on 2k18 with Bogut on it. |

The current regime hasn’t hired basketball people to make basketball decisions. Jim had Mitch who had brought 4 titles, now we have no one. They had their chances but haven’t pulled the trigger. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |
