    Finally a really good game from Deng! Too bad we lost but his play was a highlight.

    His play was a little better today, you can tell that he knew he had to step up.

    Unimpressed squirrel is unimpressed. Let's string a few of these together first shall we?

    Couldn't have come at a better time. Let's hope he plays like this for the next 10 days, then when December 15th hits, call Thibs and sell high. Ingram needs to start and Lakers need a mulligan on that contract. They need to clear that money for Paul George in 2018. They can take back Petro and Shabazz and both their contracts end in the summer of 2018.

    Nobody (not even Thibs) is trading for Luol and that contract. We'll be forced to stretch and waive him to clear out cap space for PG.

    Good game, but still shooting too many "lasers" at the rim.

    More arc, please

    At this point we should do whatever we can to get rid of his contract. This will be way beyond ugly in the 3rd and 4th season.

    No way that's a 19 year old.
    I was joking about Luol being way older than 31 in other posts and chat but dengit, he is really appears to be on some Yi Jianlian type of thing.

    There isnt much to be said we already havent beaten to a pulp. Lakers might be able to take on a bad contract but less years than whats left on Deng's contract. I just don't understand why the Lakers gave him 4 years. Who the hell was going to pay him what the lakers paid him? So frustrating.
