    I replied to this post predicting Noah to New York would be the first agreement.

    Would NEVER have guessed this...

    I wanted Bizmack last year as well. But not for the max or near max. The playoffs is where his value skyrocketed. That's what I'm getting at.

    Probably because they want max contracts. And maybe front office have a bigger overall plan.

    Woj and crew making this deal sound good, saying we paid a fair price....Also spewing lots of positives about Mozgov. :eek:

    I'm starting to warm up to the Mozgov signing. Leaves so much salary left to use to still get quality players and not scraps. Eager to see how the weekend plays out

    Mozgov can PnR. He can shoot. He can defend. I think the move makes sense. Especially if we are giving Black, Zubac, or a new center minutes, too. Match ups, offense/defense. Etc.

    I don't care if B-Shaw bought him his first basketball. This is insane.

    That would be a good signing getting Turner. Whatever. Mozgov is a Laker. If he's healthy and gets back to what he was in 2015 he's definitely a starting caliber center. I hate the signing, but it is what it is I guess.

    And also he previously played for Shaw and Luke has seen what he's capable of. My only concern is how well does Mozgov move his feet on defense

    Seriously I don't understand the rock bottom feeling in here. :D I'm with them! I was disappointed at first, but when I looked into it more I was actually okay with it. It makes more sense when you step back and look at it from afar. Still not enough! I'm not satisfied by any means, but not as horrible as everyone seems to be making it out to be.

    Hearing 4th year for Mosgov is a team option

    I am not exaggerating, I seriously feel nauseous. If I was someone who saw me right now, I would be slapping myself into complete b****dom. I feel like a little girl who just got dumped.

    ...a move just for the sake of it? To fill a need because we have to? Are we resigned to this? Mozgov did rep himself well in the 2015 Finals but what was with his drop this previous season? It's a reach and a big one...

    Not for 10+ year guys, but we can still swing one full big max or two small maxes. Referring to service time, mind you.

    Expect averages of 15 8 2 2 from Mozgov.
