I support the FO, but this trade was strange. Muscala is ok...but we drafted Wagner who was supposed to be what Muscala was traded for. Obviously Wagner hasn't panned out and when you see that we could have drafted Shamet or Melton, who I believe would be playing some, then yes you have to question some of these moves. |
Wagner hasn't even played a whole lot, he might still pan out. At this point, I guess it was salary dump |

Since no one has been signed yet, can we just assume that the FO is just floundering at this point? Making a move to make a move? What was the rush? The AS break was a perfect time to integrate a player if they had one in mind, so obviously it was not planned.
There seems to be no reason in creating the roster spot. They didn't have anyone lined up like they did with Chandler.
Muscala is an interesting move but not really an impact player because he is only mediocre at his most important skill of 3pt % and adds little else in any other area of the game. Really puzzling.
So they jettisoned an emerging role player for a player they are not intending on keeping anyways? Must be some context that I am missing because this seems a waste of resources with no real plan?
Will be interesting to see how the Lakers centers play against HOU big men tomorrow. Being reported Capela back. |

And as of last week Lonzo was only able to walk on one of those underwater treadmill devices still. |

I remember Lakers signing Vander Blue or Jabari Brown on a 10 day contract on April years ago. I assume you can sign 10 day deals anytime you want but the players on that contract that late won't be able to participate in the playoffs even if you sign them into long term deals. _________________ I was an atheist, until I knew Kobe.

He seems like an intriguing player to bring into a training camp but if I'm being honest I highly doubt that a player who has seen immense pressure and zero success in the league is the best option to add to this team at this time. In fact I can't see Bennett or his people thinking that this is a good situation to throw him into.
I think he'd benefit most from a place he can go and just play with as little pressure as possible. Work his way back slowly. The Lakers with Lebron James trying to make a playoff push with their backs against the wall is the opposite of that. |

Agree with everything you stated but it depends on what options he actually has. What teams are interested.
The reason I mention him is with a 10 day that can be extended to 20 total you would be able to get a good evaluation of him for next season. Regardless if he gets in a game or not practice will provide a lot of info (work habits, bbiq, personality, skills) to determine if he is worthy of a preseason camp invite.
I am also considering that we will lose some of the young core through trades this off season and this is a good time to start evaluating potential replacements. Doesn't have to be AB per se but some young vet who for one reason or another have yet to establish themselves on a roster. |

At this point, since we striked out in all the useful veterans, I'd prefer we sign a young guy that can show something for next season (or play Bonga and Wagner IDK).
I think not signing Melo is a must not because of his play, but to show LeBron who's in charge. That's needed after the AD/Rich Paul fiasco. _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

We are not going to sign a young guy for this stretch run. It makes no sense if they do. We are going to look for someone with experience and hopefully playoff experience. I think we are headed towards a Zach Randolph, Carmelo, Jarret jack, etc. |

As crazy as it sounds Swaggy P wouldn't be bad either. Another shooter, wild card, laker lifer, get's along with everyone, could sway a game or two in our favor. |
