    Luol, and unprotected picks with Thomas Bryant for DJ from the clips would be a good trade

    I'm bummed when this thread is bumped, I like to pretend this guy doesn't exist. I'm going full Pritchard and not going to say his name anymore. Then I read your post about moving him, real, and notice each entry has a "why it won't happen" section. :D Not even our resident optimist can figure out how to trade the guy.

    That might actually be a good thing. Medical retirement for a torn titty muscle. We get all the cap space back! Can't get the damn t** fit.

    I come in here expecting to see more about how Deng is in the gym early with the young guys every day, leading and mentoring them, and preparing for the season. He was clearly disappointed in himself last season, and took personal responsibility to show the world that he's still a top level player... said no one

    New classic for CL / Lakersball lexicon? One day might be up there with mind bottling, juggler's knot, no homo ......?

    Was offered a deal Artest for Deng in 2K10.

    Deng was actually a very good player back then.

    Declined it because I just couldn't get the Deng I saw this year out of my head.

    We'll see where Randle,Clark,Kuzma and Hart stand around the all star break. Can still have a shot to unload him. there's just no point right now. We'll be alright.

    Ingram,Deng,Zu,Kuzma,Hart,Bryant,Nance,Randle,Lonzo all combined make 45 mill give or take... if Deng can give us 10 pts off the bench efficiently as a stretch 4, as a group the salary isn't bad at all IMO for 9 players.

    I thought it was reported last week that LA offered a future 1 and Deng to every team and no one bit.

    I'm afraid we're stuck with him.

    No one sticks whats-her-name in the corner or just "flips" Julius Randle.
