I remember being told somewhere that the Deng deal wasn't bad because he could contribute while not blocking the young guys and they'd still have enough money next summer for someone else

Were they bringing him around for 18 mil a year to avoid blocking their stable of young centers?

What stable of young centers? I mean it's still dumb money, but he's not blocking anyone other than....Tarik Black? Nance and Randle are PF's.

I think I see what the Lakers are doing but its sorta weird they decided their living cap holds were Mozgov and Deng. Deng I kinda see since he is a jack-of-all-trades glue guy who seems like the kind of dude you want young players to be around, I guess.

I'm glad Deng got paid because he is a cool guy but whenever I watch the Lakers he looks kind of washed up. Remember reading that his game wouldn't age well because he never was that athletic and once he lost a little of what he had it would be bad. Plus he's not a great shooter to make up for it. Last 2 years of that deal could be real bad.

The problem with paying deng is that to get the best value out of him, you run a switch heavy defense and play major minutes at the 4 with him. That is almost not what he's doing in los angeles because there's a billion PFs there.

While still overpaid, Deng has atleast started to look like the guy he was last season recently. Getting into double digits consistently with some rebounding and reasonable defense. I'm still much happier with having him on that contract than having tried to get Evan Turner or Kent Bazremore, 2 of the guys a lot of Lakers fans were clamoring for last offseason. Actually his stats in 11 games in december are fine, 10 and 5 on 47% FG and 36% from 3pt

What's up with Bazemore anyway? Does he have an injury or something? I was disappointed that we ended up with Gordon instead of him, shows how much I know about anything.

That's still not a 18 mil/yr guy, even in 2020 cap numbers, but its fine. What he lets you do is cover multiple positions so if you have a rookie that starts looking promising Deng isn't going to prevent anyone from getting minutes but still be able to contribute.

Unless I totally misheard, Windhorst said the Celtics "raped" the Nets with that one trade on today's Lowe Post and then asked if that was too harsh.

Bazemore is primarily a defender. I mean, he's not playing well, but he's still contributing.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I was on my first podcast for anything last week: http://traffic.libsyn.com/3manbreak/10_Build_a_Bear_for_Bradley_Beal_3_Man_Break_Dec_2016_1_of_3.mp3 It's me and a couple other guys from a different forum talking about the NBA. We had some technical issues so sound isn't good, but we are working to correct them for next time.

 at all these old players raging at George Karl. I thought it was established a few years back that Karl had permanent chemobrain after having tons of chemotherapy. He's said a lot of odd/unfiltered stuff since he's gotten cancer.Paul Zuvella posted:Uhhhhhhhhhh. The Nets, Mavs, and 76ers are pretty total garbage They're bad but this year no team has been truly awful. Right now all teams are better than -8 SRS and that's better than usual. Some years teams are in that -10 or worse range. The last really good year in this regard was 2007 when the worst team (Hawks) was at -4.86 xbilkis posted:Who the hell is gonna be the 8 seed in the West BBR says Portland but it's way too early to know. Spring Break My Heart posted:The apparently common idea that time travelling Bill Russell would be like John Henson but shorter while Wilt and Oscar Robertson would come right in and be the best players in the league, is loving retarded. Who's been saying that recently? One of the concerns is Russell's extremely deficient shooting. I have less faith in him compared to the other two. Not that either of those guys would be MVP in 2017.
