the trade is just sad because a player 2 years removed from going 2nd in the draft is being thrown in as an incentive to clear cap space and acquire the worst rebounding centre since Bargnani.

Tae posted:So basically they're giving up the #2 overall pick for a contract that almost everyone thought was bad and signed on the first day of free agency as the first center signed. They also signed Luol Deng to a 4 year $72 million deal.

zelah posted:I care so much. I know Paul Allen's not there, but I keep looking out my window at work at the moda center trying to will him to action. I can't wait for Meyers and Turner to be gone. I'm still hoping they can swing a CJ for a star trade. What's up Kristaps?? I can't wait for Leonard and Turner to be gone. The problem is that Turners contract is so ridiculous that nobody in their right mind would take it without getting substantial assets in return. Giving up some of the picks the Blazers have just to dump salary doesn't seem worth it.

That trade makes perfect sense for both sides. The Nets get an actual honest to god draft pick, and a young player with upside potential. They get a vet in Mosgov, who can play minutes while they are still bad. The Lakers, get really really good big(who is an expiring), and gain cap space for the cost of a 27th pick. For when they get George, and then try and woo Bron there.

Bulls should have traded Rondo and their 1st for Russell and Mozgov.

Lopez also theoretically allows Randle to not worry so much about outside shooting and just grab rebounds

Tae posted:So basically they're giving up the #2 overall pick for a contract that almost everyone thought was bad and signed on the first day of free agency as the first center signed. Where someone is drafted doesn't mean poo poo. Where someone is picked doesn't mean poo poo after they have started playing. Especially when there is a new GM from the ones who drafted that person. DLoading was not liked by the new Front Office and poo poo Lonzo p much told you as much by what he said about needing to be a leader, on the floor and in the locker room like right after his meeting with the Lakers. Sometimes Picks don't work out and don't fit the culture, poo poo happens. They were able to trade salary filler in Mosgov, and a player that didn't fit into their future in Russel, for a talented Big in Lopez, a d100 in a 27th pick and significantly more cap flexibility going forward. You can't do anything about the mistakes the previous GM's made. All you can do is do what you think is the right play.

i think the lakers trade is decent for the lakers they need a solid center to compete and lopez seems like he can fill that role nicely and dumping the mozgov contract is great for them lopez seems like an above average center, am i wrong to think that?
