    I mean it's knowledgeable but they rarely talk about the Lakers.

    Woj hinted that other teams with cap space have had concerns about Whiteside's maturity and how he'd handle a max contract. Has me wondering if maybe we don't have a meeting with him because we don't want one?

    you clearly don't follow Wojo enough if you think this is how he goes about his business. Not a more respected writer, and person to believe with NBA Breaking News.

    Don't just take my word for it ask others.

    Yeah Woj is terrific. He repeated what he said earlier. Dallas is a favorite right now, but things could change. Teams are very concerned about him off the court and maturity issues.

    Kent Bazemore*
    6'5 SG/SF
    27 y/o
    Projected FG%: 43.4%
    Projected 3pt%: 35.3%
    Projected FT%: 71%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 14.2
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 22.8
    Projected Offensive Impact: -2.4
    Projected Defensive Impact: 1.0
    Projected Value over Replacement: 0.6
    Verdict: Bazemore has developed into a borderline starter. He's not very good at anything except rebounding from the wing, but he's a solid defender, and he's not terrible at anything either. The Baze15?

    Arron Afflalo*
    6'5 SG/SF
    31 years old
    Projected FG%: 44.7%
    Projected 3pt%: 38%
    Projected FT%: 83%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 19.9
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 21.5
    Projected Offensive Impact: 0
    Projected Defensive Impact: -1.8
    Projected Value over Replacement: 0.2
    Verdict: Honestly, despite his ability to hit the three, Afflalo isn't much of a player any more. He's not really starting material, but he could be a decent mentor and backup willing and able to play heavy minutes.

    Luol Deng*
    6'9 SF/PF
    31 years old
    Projected FG%: 45.3%
    Projected 3pt%: 33.6%
    Projected FT%: 77%
    Projected PTS+AST+REB: 22.5
    Potency (pts+ast+reb/36): 23.6
    Projected Offensive Impact: 1.0
    Projected Defensive Impact: 0.1
    Projected Value over Replacement: 1.8
    Verdict: Deng shoots, rebounds, and defends. He's a veteran who plays a lot of minutes and would serve as an incredible mentor to the Lakers' young bucks. He'd be a good add, even up to max for a couple seasons.

    * = Lakers not linked to these players yet (as far as I've seen).

    Well hopefully it's a Williams and Bass situation where they're out of nowhere signings. I would love all three of them.

    I can understand why this executive doesn't have a job anymore. He just said he'd prefer Dwight Howard over Hassan Whiteside. Really?

    I honestly would love to know who Mitch is on the phone with at this very moment. It will tell a lot on the state of the Lakers.
