    Could also mean he'll end his career with LAL, playing for scraps, MLE @ the most. May be a solid wild card off the bench in a year or two. The long look, anyway.


    Thinking Kenneth Faried would be a solid pick up/replacement in the rotation. D'antoni let him shoot 3's and he actually did OK in a small sample. Another hustle guy, switchable defender, small ball option.

    Sucks tremendously. Now Javale is in line to start and play more minutes and that's no bueno

    Is it a confirmed ACL tear? I had heard he was just being evaluated at this time.

    Expected to be confirmed after more tests

    Dwight, no chance
    Noah, ditto, see; LeBron/Noah fued
    Nene, old AF
    Faried, makes some sense, still under 30 somehow, see a lot of LAL fans that want him signed
    Mo Speights, rather have Faried

    Isn’t there a lost player exception where a team can petition the NBA league office for salary cap exemptions if you know an injured player will not play the full season?

    If so, I guess if the Lakers pull that option, Boogie is essentially no longer a Laker in that he only has a one year contract.

    And Kuzma goes to the bench.
    And Chris Paul is suddenly traded to the Lakers.

    Yeah, it's just not worth much because he was signed on the cheap. Only $1.75M, but I'm told they could use the DPE in a trade as well. Somebody like Nerlens Noel would be the target. In comp to Javale, Noel has a greater impact defensively, so hopefully Rich Paul/Pelinka are working on this..or just sign Faried.

    Now Shams says " mutual interest " between LAL/Dwight. It's going to happen if/when the Grizzlies buy Dwight out. Leaking it so fans can wrap their minds around it. This is how much LeBron and Noah hate one another. Lol BTW, who's not on the Grizzlies waiting to be bought out? Feels like they have everybody.

    Much as I can't stand Dwight's punk ass, somebody has to help limit Javale's minutes. If Javale plays north of 15 minutes a night this team won't win a damn thing

    As much as I hate saying it, but he maybe our best choice to replace Cousins.

    Just afraid of his locker room habits.

    Damn, I wish Boogie wasn’t so fragile.

    Dwight has been almost as fragile in recent years, another reason I wouldn't touch him [no homo]

    But maybe they like the upside, he was pretty productive for Charlotte year before last, played 81 games and averaged something like 16 and 12. Lakers going to house 2 of the silliest centers in the league. Hopefully Kuz takes a big step forward to offset whatever's happening @ center

    AD has to play more minutes at the 5. I know he doesn’t like it, but there’s almost no choice anymore.

    He gave $4M back, so he better be willing to do whatever's necessary

    Kuz and Tatum seem to be becoming BFFs. Need to get some recruiting done. Tatum said he was looking forward to playing in New Orleans. He'd probably be elsewhere already if he had his choice. Ainge fucked up
