Reggie Bullock Discussion

The Lakers have someone who can actually make shots DURING THE GAME? lol.

Its a surreal feeling that I haven't experienced for about a decade.

The last time the Lakers had a really good shooter was that one year where Sascha couldn't miss. He was garbage every year except the year he was the MACHINE. Which is sad considering most teams have two or 3 of those all the time.

With regard to his D, I thought the activity level was great. But he needs more bulk. Looked slightly overmatched physically to me.

 

So glad we got this guy. Great pick up by the FO.

 

This great pickup was nullified by the asinine Zublocka deal.

Seriously, Zubac was great for us. I had a lot of confidence on offense whenever he got the ball.

I'm not over it. This front office has done good things but they have also shown a few red flags.

They have switched every asset to their liking and this team still is on the outside looking in. We used to be a very young lottery team, now we look like an older lottery team. Great.

If they blow this summer, they need to go. I hope they have the grace to leave on their own. Buss isn't exactly the type of person to fire anyone.

 

I'm bummed that we lost Zubac for essentially nothing, but I still get it in the sense that we weren't going to resign him next year. Bullock was a good move for us both in trying to make the playoffs now and for possibly keeping his bird's rights next season. We'll need his shooting and hopefully we can keep him on the cheap in the future.

 

It isn't just that we gifted Zubac to a direct playoff rival.

It is that we didn't sign any friggin shooters in the off-season. That it was beyond obvious that this team will suck shooting 3s and shooting FTs and nothing was done.

And then we see them trading Beasley who they signed for unknown reasons just 3 months ago. Showing they had no f**** idea what they are doing.

They traded for Muscala who is already collecting DNPs. If you wanted to create roster spot, just buy out Beasley and done.

They have no clear idea what to do, thats the problem. It doesn't feel like there was an intelligent plan behind this roster.

The whole idea was get LeBron this year, *** the rest...move on to next off-season and sign another star and figure the rest out later. It is a plan...just not a great one.

 

Bull is so good man, and such a good fit. He is what I wanted KCP to be.

 

It seems like the Beasley signing was done in a "If he can do what he did last season in New York, we have a sixth man off the bench." Problem is he was ANOTHER 6'8-9" player. What? Kuzma, Lebron, and Ingram weren't enough. I've said it before. Isaiah Thomas put Marbury and Francis together in the backcourt as one of his final, dying moves in New York and explained it by saying, "It's so crazy it just might work." It's almost like our front office thought to themselves, "We're not winning anyway. If this gonzo experiment works, we can look like geniuses! If not, we can just say we were buying time with rentals until THIS offseason."...when we sign no one.

 

DJ likes LA and he likes LeBron, and he's not going to want to play behind Boogie.
