Trade him. He's more valuable by this point as a trade salary than he is on the court. At this point it wouldn't shock me if he didn't suit up all season.
I'd hold on to THT unless a really, really good deal presents itself. But Nunn + Baze is enough to get us a little wing help. I mentioned this in another thread a week or two ago, but here is what I'd do if I'm LeB...I mean Rob: Move those two to either Sac or Hou in a 2 for 1, we can include a 2nd rounder or two if we must. We should be able to shed a few bucks going that route and clear a roster spot. Then I bring up Stanley Johnson and let AB walk come January, so we retain buyout market flexibility as well. The shaved $ from the 2-for-1 and prorated deal for Stan will be easier to digest for the accounting department than offering someone (Ennis) a fully guaranteed deal before the season. A returning Ariza + Harkless/Nwaba/House + Stan Jo gives us much better balance and a variety of wing looks against these players bigger than 6 foot 4.
i'd argue he plays bigger than that, but yes, ideally someone larger. beggars can't be choosers at this point. nunn and torrey craig make the same amount...just sayin'.
"Hopeful"? I'll believe it when I see him on the court and not a minute sooner. I'm assuming he's out for the year until proven otherwise.
Unless the Lakers are lying about it “just” being a bone bruise. Dude has been out since September, isn’t expected back til January.
Perhaps it was a debt collection type of scenario. Can get a b**** of a bruise from a baseball bat, I hear.
Bone bruises can take a long time to heal. They aren't a "bruise" like what you would get on your skin. It would not shock me if we never see him suit up in a Laker jersey.
Letting Caruso walk to save tax money and thinking we could replace Caruso’s productivity through Nunn has been a massive bust of an idea. I truly believe if we had AC instead of Nunn so far this season we would be at least +3 games in the win column.
That's possible if he gets traded. I don't recall ever hearing of a player, that missed an entire season due to a bone bruise though.
