Ball/KCP/Ingram/Kuzma/Randle

Works for me.

I say we flip Lopez for some young talent if at all possible


We can't risk cap space for that.

I was excited when he got him, but it’s becoming more and more apparent that Lopez doesn’t have a future with us. dude disappears in games more often than otherwise.

I was so never ever excited about him being a Laker. It's even worse than I had dreaded. Dude is completely lost on defense and is somehow totally oblivious to rebounding.

Wish he lower's his 3's per game and stay on the block and rebound. If he's hitting it cool. But he's struggling.

Rebounding is not Brook's game. He does, however, pad his teammates rebounding numbers.

It would be nice if they took advantage of his size when they have guys from the bench on him. Never fails. They'll have somebody giving up, like, 50 pounds and Brook is still standing behind the arc as if he were prime Dirk.

We’re probably gonna re-sign him to a phat contract next summer.

Doubtful. It’ll be a buyer’s market for bigs this year. If the Lakers offer him a big contract they’ll be bidding against themselves.

Sounds like something Kupchak would have done.

He has a huge expiring. How pissed is Marc Gasol?

Could they or couldn't they sign Cousins in the offseason if they unloaded Lopez' expiring $22M. Conley, Cousins, Chandler, Chalmers etc. Not bad, a bit younger.
