    Sessions, Jack, Admiral Greivis are players I'll run numbers on. I slept only five hours after too much drinking. Might need to go back to bed.

    While I get the idea, Millsap is 31 and will be 32 in February... so, no.

    How much money is left? I wonder if we are going to stretch Young soon.

    I really do like Lou on such a bargain of a contract but if we can somehow turn that into Lee, I'd be ecstatic.

    Yeah we've still got about 20-23 million left depending on a few moves. I could see the Lakers trying to pull in one vet PG and then calling it a summer. That way they save whatever cash they have left for next summer.

    We got Deng and I'm stoked. I don't really care who else we sign at this point. I'm giving Mitch/Jim a solid A- this year. Mozgov and Deng. Let's Go!

    How are some people complaining about this move? On Twitter, Facebook, Lakersground, I've heard people whining about this move. Luol is exactly the type of veteran we need. Luke is trying to change the culture here and this is the first step.

    The Lakers signed two guys who are consummate professionals who can still contribute. They're getting rid of the trash like Nick Young. They still need one more veteran imo, but this is a great start. Deng is still a very solid and versatile player and look at the market. This is basically the same money we offered Bazemore, but Deng is a better fit imo.

    I've come to ignore everyone who isn't on LB. They're idiots. Facebook, Yahoo, IG...

    They're probably the least knowledgeable fans ever thinking we can just sign and trade anyone we please. They bag on our own players and make zero sense.

    They're the probably the same people who were rioting after the 2000 championship.
