Hornets want Lou? Give me Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Rockets want Lou? Give me either Trevor or Patrick Beverley. Pelicans want Lou? Y'all have nobody. And I don't want Terrence Jones.
Good to know the others were involved. Mouthpiece just got a lot more valuable. I bet Luke was begging for a defender.
Only thing that is disappointing is now with Lou gone I feel like we will be pretty much done with trades.
Welp, I imagine the Rockets were the worst (sarcasm) team to offer us a 1st? Damn you Pelicans and Hornets! NO2:
Maybe - but he was a black hole on offense - and so wasn't good for our growth, and he was an atrocious defender.
This could be a win-win for LA - sabotage Houston for a better pick, boost our young player development.
Basically. Honestly, I liked Lou and he was excellent at what he did but in all honesty he had more value to a playoff team needing scoring punch than he did the Lakers. Moving him frees up more PT for Russell and Clarkson the next 24 games.
