Crazy. Why draft him 2nd rd, stash him in the G-league, then let him go.

Here are the highlights. 14 layups. He has a knack for getting open and being in the right place for offensive boards. Plays like Capella w/o the athleticism.

I wasn’t that impressed when he was here but in retrospect I should have been. I’m sure he was replaced by someone of a Stephenson/Rondo caliber.

My pet peeve in NBA basketball decision making is letting go of young talent for that veteran guy that provides "intangibles." We basically did that with Thomas and Zubac, and nothing to show for them.

The Lakers 2017-2018 center rotation was Lopez/Randle/Zubac/Bryant.

What the Lakers have to show for them both is: SALARY CAP SPACE!

Which is what they used to sign everyone, except Kuz, LeBron and AD!

It's ALL connected...!

You're missing the point, the Lakers are not interested in fielding a team of mistake-ridden rookies, they are going with Vets. (who are not as mistake-ridden), but may not be up to your hypothetical wish list...

Time to move on...

Wagner and Bryant cost less "salary cap space" than Rondo and KCP too

And they have continually failed since the vets they chose have been mistake ridden. Let’s see a small amount of success before declaring that they know what they are doing.

Imagine sticking up for KCP and Rondo as less mistake-ridden.

For those feeling bad about Lou Williams. He was flipped for Josh Hart and Thomas Bryant. How do ya like dem apples? If we still had TB, I think you can feel a little better not having Lou.

Can someone remind me why it was necessary to let TB go last year? Julius was renounced quickly, cuz they couldn't wait to give that money to Rondo.

Guys like Brook Lopez and Thomas Bryant weren't brought back cause they couldn't wait to fill the roster with rag tags like Lance Romance and Space Cadet Beaseley. Zubac for Muscala. It's a comedy of hits.

Unleash Hell, there is no spinning this. You could arrive at the same AD trade without some of these moves.
