But they are not, and thus, they wanted guys they could move forward with. You can sort of see what Memphis wanted to do by their actions, yes?

 

Disagree.....rookie year he got an average of 16 MPG and performed to the tune of 7.5ppg/4rpg. Last year his minutes were cut to 9mpg and his stats dipped. Then this year his minutes have gone back up to his rookie year and his scoring has gone up to 8.5ppg/5rpg. So the minute thing is disproven. But I get your point, the NBA Center position has changed and the team and MGT have to change with it. I just think that Gasol would have been a better trade target if they were done with Zu.

 

He actually got about 20 mpg over the final 2 months of the '16-'17 season and produced pretty well considering his age, especially in spurts. Defense was bad then too though

Of course Gasol would've been a better target, but they don't have the pieces to make that deal and then turn around put the best deal on the table for AD.
That's why this move for Muscala isn't just an upgrade for what they want from the center position, but also the anti-panic deal

 

Every team would covet FA money. Miles and Wright could easily be replaced with the $15MM+ in FA money they would have and Vilanciunas would have been replaced with Zubac.

 

He can do some things. After you finish with Zu's funeral, check him out

 

Lol OK, email them your offer

 

Help me understand, how are the Lakers trading for AD in the summer? The filler contracts (Rondo/Stevenson/Beasley)are gone, unless im missing something.

 

Don't have to match salaries in the offseason if you have cap space

 

Also, if LAL wanted to move all the kids for AD, they wouldn't have to touch much of the cap space this summer at all.
AD is on the books for $27M next season, LAL can come up with $23M between the kids..$16M alone between Zo and Ingram

 

So MGT could have dropped all their 1 year deals + Zubac to get Gasol and still made a strong offer of Ball/Hart/Ingram/Kuzma/Picks for AD. Just my opinion but I would have done that instead.

 

Except one thing..Memphis didn't want that shit. They wanted what they got.

 

Matter of opinion.....i think what they got was just as shit.

 

Jonas alone is better than Zu. Fuck are you smoking?

 

Very 1st play..Hart travels every time 2nd play too

 

And for some anti-Muscala flavor..man down.

 

Im not sure id say that.

Given equal playing time Zu could have very similar production.

 

Well then you don't want to say facts

Los Angeles Lakers are preferred destination for free agent, Wayne Ellington. “Wayne was definitely unhappy with his decreased role [with Miami Heat] after Dwyane Wade’s return,” a confidant Of Ellington told me. “LA is a preferred destination for him after his last stint there.”

If the Lakers add either Wayne Ellington or Andre Ingram as a shooter, beyond basketball both are among the nicest guys I've come across in this league.
