    He's always fumbling the ball and the miss dunks are just cherry's on top.

    I really thought his hands would be a lot better than they currently are.

    I think when you REALLY DISLIKE how a player is playing, it's completely fair and ok to misuse stats to prove a point and make you feel better.

    And vice versa if you really like a player. For instance, I have a stat that shows Kobe shot 50% for his career. True story. :Noddingyes:
    Just don't count all of the end of quarter/halves and teammate bail out shots, and wala!

    I don't know why a few game stretch in the playoffs is a better indicator of the player than the multiple seasons prior. And given how he's performing closer to the latter than the former, I judge one to be more accurate than the other.

    I don't know how people expect fans to be rational. They have a history of being the opposite actually. fan = fanatic = not rational

    Jesus folks. The only one that should be allowed to be delusional about Mosgov is LT. He had monetary reasons and I respect that. But the amount of reasons, excuses, innuendos and sabermetrics in this thread is quite comical. The guy blows. That's it. End of story. There is no hiding it. There is nothing you can cook up to say otherwise. He sucks. Has always sucked and will ALWAYS suck. That is just reality. It isn't because I am on this mission to criticize a Laker player or some guy I don't know. He is a serviceable center who should play 10 min a game to relieve a real center. That's it. He is Jon Koncak. That's what he is. A extremely overpaid tall stiff who brings zero to a team in terms of winning or any consistency to an offense, defense or scheme.

    Some of you need to accept it and enjoy the one game every 2 weeks we play that's worth while and pray 27 wins comes and another top 3 pick. Otherwise, you are gonna continue to hang on to reason 45 on why Mosgov isn't that bad when it's a complete falsehood.

    What's odd isn't just the weirdly confrontational anti-Mozgov posts. What's odd is that even saying Mozgov is an average player and was paid market value is somehow a home homeristic statement. Two things that are empirically true and somehow those are silly stances. Instead all that's true is he sucks and we are fools for not accepting it. What a horrible and reductive argument.

    BTW I think you can look at any list of "dumbest FA signings 2016" or "most overpaid FAs 2016" and Mozgov is the cover picture and among the top 3 or pretty much at least top 5. Its not like the entire world doesn't get it. It was a bad signing by anyone's standard.

    I can name you 5 big men who are worse 2016 signings than Mozgov so far. Ian Mahinmi, Joakim Noah, Miles Plumlee, Meyers Leonard, and Tyler Zeller.

    those bad signings dont justify Mozgov bad signing either. Thats like saying someone else made a bad decision so its ok we made a bad decision too, all that says to me is our mgmt is just as dumb as the avg GM of the leagues

    No. We've posted memes of THE DUDE and tings.

    But honestly, Mozgov is 7 feet tall so he gets more money. I think the fact that we committed to him at 12:01 of free agency is one reason why his contract sticks out more than the REALLY bad one we signed: Luol Deng. That is the contract we will be regretting in 3 years, even more so than Mozgov.

    they're both equally terrible IMO, Deng to me has more upside because of the Ingram factor, whether he will be a good mentor or not to Ingram I do believe that was the plan, however Moz is no type of vet leader, probably never have been and I highly doubt Zubac cares about being mentored by Mozgov, if anything he's hoping to take over sooner than later.
