    Wow those stars who signed long term contracts now watch mediocre players getting paid 30-60 % more than them. Talk about wage distortion.

    Didn't even know he'd failed a drug test/got drummed out of the NBA. Interesting.

    At least Mozgov isn't a nut case.

    Don't care. I'd rather have our great group of young players and not give up such a promising future for that idiot.

    Mosgov can:

    Hit an open 15 foot jumper.
    Post effectively (not amazing in the post but solid)
    Score off offensive rebound put backs consistently
    Most importantly - he is a good finisher on the pick and roll

    Randle, I am not worried about at ALL on offense. I'm convinced he will improve each year under Luke.

    Forgive me if I missed it, but have we received any actual confirmation that the 4th year of Mozgov's deal is a team option? All I've seen is the Windhorst clip from ESPN where he said something to the effect of "...the 4th year might not be guaranteed".

    I would prefer Bass. He's better and he's a great veteran leader. I can't stress enough how important that is. Re-sign Bass and some a couple of other solid veterans and let's start this journey.

    If we had to decice I'd go Bass. If you want to play small ball at times Bass showed last season he's a capable backup C. He played incredible defense at times, and there's no way his shot is as off as it was last season again. That said, I doubt he comes back, and I like what Black brings too, and he's probably cheaper. But if we can keep both, why not do so?

    There have been reports of it, but nothing from a concrete source yet for some reason. Woj said it last night on the Vertical, but he never wrote it in a tweet or anything.

    I really would love it if we got Pau back, yeah I know he wants to win blah blah blah but as David West has shown, there's no gurantee's and you'd look stupid for giving up money. Give Pau that 12mill/yr contract for 3years and let him retire a laker. Our C rotation would be solid between Pau/Moz
