You're tired about hearing about the player. But then you want to post in a thread evaluating a FO's actions. It would be ridiculous not to discuss the most significant action that they did. Or are only positive evaluations acceptable?



It's like making movies, there is only one rule...

Don't bore the audience.

As much as I liked you-know-who, we can't really grade this trade until this upcoming free agency. If we score in free agency, then great!

I will say the trade seemed premature, regardless of whether it was you-know-who or not, because we sold low.

I see Car54 and Lucky_Shot are disagreeing about what his production will be this year. I disagree w/ Lucky. I don't think his production will essentially match this past season. My guess is he'll be at about 20, 5, & 5.

I'm all for discussion.
But I think you already made the assumption that the trade was ill-advised. I'm on the side that doesn't think so.

What the OP whiffed on was the construction of the FO. Where are the experienced voices in the room? Where are the consultants for Magic to bounce ideas off of? Where are the player developmental specialists? GS has them as do the Spurs. The model is out there but the 2017 model was ignored and we are operating with a 1990 model. To be fair, the same can be said of the Jim Buss FO. An example of a modern organizational structure is the Dodgers. Magic is a part owner and has access to that structure but for whatever reason shunned it. We went through the draft and free agency with no head of analytics. Words come out the mouth but actions do not support them.

So in essence what you are saying is we are undermanned, is that it?

It’s a convenient (and disingenuous) way to soften the blow of losing a possible 20/5/5 player (age 21) this season (when there was a high probability Kuz was available with the very next pick).


Its also disingenuous to call dlo a 20 5 5 player when its based off of 3 games.

It wouldnt suprise me if Hart or Bryant end up being a better player


Is your analysis based off of 3 games too?

So in a thread examining Magic's moves, which lists DLO, you don't think it's relevant?

Or maybe we're LAKER fans who knew the trade happened too early.


I don't care what you call yourself. A real Lakers fan wants to talk about what's going on with the Lakers now and in the future not dwell on some past hope and dream because you feel slighted in some way as if this team was yours to control in the first place...


"Real Lakers fan..."

I agree with that, depending on how Kuzma pans out.

That said, we could have gotten a draft pick to acquire Kuzma for a lot less than Russell.

You missin the point, DLo was traded so that they will get one of the MOZDENG pair.

Kuzma was the cherry/gravy.

It's based on 2 years of Dlo, I think he wount be an allstar and based on how deep the 2017 draft is; but all i said was it wouldnt suprise me.

He's now in the East. And based on his trajectory, I can see multiple all-star appearances. Also, I can see the media being more than happy to stick it to the Lakers and push "most improved" angles to criticize the Lakers FO (which they do anyways).

And I would never cheer against my Lakers. So I'm praying that Magic flourishes and we get our 2 max guys and Lonzo/BI/Kuz flourish.

Who is the competition for PG in the east?
Kyrie and Lowry? I can easily see Dlo becoming an all star soon in the east, but that would never have happened while he was in the west coast.
