Now imagine if we developed him properly.... Such gross negligence and mistreatment of dude...it's unreal!
If there is no deadline trade involving him then we have a "Randle" type situation with Zu. He is expiring and will be looking for more money. Then again if he will take a 10-12 mil a year deal and can produce like he has, do you turn that up?
I'd rather sign Kawhi because there will be a little money left in the cap room, then sign maybe Zu with it
He's a really, really good player and his confidence is sky high right now. Which probably means: "see you Zu, it was nice knowing you"!
Lakers open up a roster spot and 5% body fat. At least Zu doesn't have to move. And BI is officially the last man standing from yesteryear.
Bye Zu, and good luck. I think it would have been difficult logistically to retain him this summer so trade makes sense IMO.
Odd trade. Mike Muscala is a decent shooter (.365 career 3pt% avg), but I'm not sure I'd trade Zu for him. This does open up a roster spot. Perhaps to make room for another move.
