2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

Probably cut Ennis. Call up Caruso if needed.

 

Tall semi skilled white player better than small semi skilled whitey. Old basketball maxim.

 

To be honest I don't see the appeal of Kuzmingas, labeled a shooter but shot in the mid 30%? No thanks.

 

trading for noel is also problematic because whoever trades for him is limited to offer his QO or some such nonsense. in essence, if you want him next year, you shouldn't trade for him now. it would be disadvantageous.

 

We sent feelers out to him and his people, so I think we're waiting on Dec. 15th (for KCP & Ennis) to possibly clear a roster spot via trade (Dec. 19th for Bogut) . If it came to outright waiving someone, then Bogut has a partially guaranteed contract (becomes fully guaranteed on Jan 10, 2018), so I'm assuming it would be him and maybe we can offer him a coaching position on Luke's bench.

 

I'm still puzzled at why Vander Blue is on this team.

 

Caruso and Blue are 2way players....nothing we can do on that front.

With Lopez, Zu and Bryant we have depth but not experience at that position, so I would like to hold onto Bogut. But if he's willing to be a coach, I don't mind giving that spot up for Kuzi.

However if it isn't that simple, then we got to wait on a trade and we're about 4 weeks from getting busy. I'm sure Rob/Mag will try to do anything to get this roster more shooting, but not at the expense of their defense, I hope.

Btw, Kuzi averaged a +12 last season in just under 15 minutes of playing time. He's not one of those guys that focuses on shooting and nothing else on the other side of the court.

Also, some trade targets could be in Utah. They're struggling right now and maybe are willing to do a trade. They're obviously a western team and you don't want to really do a trade with them, but Joe Johnson (who is nursing a wrist injury and should be back in Dec) and Favors are both expiring deals worth $22.5M in cap. JJ could bring us back some shooting as well.

 

They need to quickly become NO-WAY players.

 

I like the 2 way thing. Very little risk, and get to develop a marginal prospect a little longer to see if they are worth the money and roster spot.

They have nothing to do with Kuzi at all, and would not affect him signing with us. I doubt he's interested in a 2 way contract, or someone would have nabbed him already. Teams still have some of those spots left. Anyone that is a FA and worth their salt isn't available long. The fact that Kuzi wasn't snagged probably tells me all I need to know lol

NADA

Now you've capped Caruso's career too?

 

I know talent when I see it.

 

You capped Randle saying he would never and could never contribute to winning team basketball. Used correctly that's not true with where he is now with his skills and effort. You're far from infallible .... get over yourself in that regard.

 

Lakers are 7-10. And I have said we have the best bench players who start. Randle can contribute to winning basketball but not consistently as a starter. He doesn't have the mental focus to do it. In spurts and off the bench, sure, he will have a fine career being a 6 or 7 guy on a team.

Sorry bro, nothing has changed. I'll get over myself when that 7-10 changes. Looks like im right so far.

 

No there was zero wiggle room with all the s*** you were saying about Randle. And you can't tie the record to solely be on his shoulders. WTF is that?
