Well, well, well. Hilbert...now Lou Williams. Look at all these bona fide NBA players we're signing! We are set at guard now with Russell, Clarkson, Williams and Kobe in spots. I wonder if there's any way we can still get KJ in here.
It is pretty light, but everything is easier in hindsight after you see who got paid what. We picked up two good pieces, Lou Williams deal will look amazing next year if he can keep up his production.
As if anyone criticizing the FO means they are rooting against them and don't want us to make any good moves so that those criticisms hold up. Criticizing is making points about things you want to change, wanting our FO to do better in certain areas. IMO the ones made before today remain valid, nobody said Mitch wasn't good at making good signing to fill out a roster, he's done that a few years in a row now. If we make the same pitch we made to Dwight, Melo, and Aldridge to Durant next offseason, the criticisms remain valid. Something needs to change in our thinking and trying to sell the Lakers to the star free agents. Whether that's the actual pitch, or having a team of good players on more than 1 year deals remains to be seen. If our rookies live up to potential, if Williams and Bass have good seasons, and if Hibbert revives his career and re-signs here and is an attractive piece to the big free agents, we should have a better idea what the issue is next offseason. In other words, if we have a very good roster in place next offseason and still sign no top FA, the pitch might be the problem.
