We are just getting started here, like paying a G for Baltic Avenue.

It's like offering the waiter $50 bucks for bread before he can hand you the menu.

Lol I think the fan base of any team is gonna be disappointed signing Waiters but I would truly hope you guys wouldn't add him to Young and Lou (even as happy it would make me as a Kings fan). That would be the definition of miserable.

Kings are going to give Dion $20M/yr in a S&T with McLemore going to OKC. With quality coaching McLemore becomes the stud he was projected to be coming out of college.

That's literally the worst scenario that could possibly play out for us. We really don't deserve that.

I don't believe that you deserve it. I do believe that the Sacramento front office is stupid enough to it. Wouldn't it be nice if fans could buy stock in their teams and vote out the President of Basketball Operations and GM when they showed complete incompetence like draft multiple first round bigs when the two best players on the roster are bigs?

This is going to be the biggest runaway poll since Raps in 4.

this might just be a woj troll job. Come up with the most ridiculous first signing of FA possible. That center who rode the bench all finals to the Lakers for 64 million. No, not Sasha Kaun, the other guy.

The universe has granted my wish for the lakers to wallow in mediocrity.

This deal is similar to signing a 4/$48mil deal last year. Its not a terrible deal.....but a stupid deal for the Lakers.

I think mediocrity is a reach for the next season or 2.

As a fan of the team holding the Lakers pick, I'm a YOOGE fan of this deal.

As a fan of a team attempting to deal a young big man on a rookie deal, I have to sit back and laugh. Can't wait until Biz gets $18 million from someone.

With Mozgov and Noah's signings Chandler's contract is starting to look much better now.
Wish I were a 7-footer. I wouldn't even have to be good at basketball. Oh well.

Yes:
With Mozgov's contract being a 4/$48 a year ago, Noah's would have been a 4/$52mil a year ago as well....basically the same that Chandler signed.

OK, I'll be that guy. It's too much money and I voted Mozgov won, but it's not shockingly bad. He's not a bench player. He got lost in the shuffle with the Cavs. At minimum he's a quality rotation player or even a solid starter when given the chance, and this isn't THAT far above what guys like that will go for in this market.

:/ I might be digging into a salt-mine, but I would take my chances with Timofey Mozgov over Enes Kanter.

Mozgov is gonna be 30 on July 16th!

The best deal of the summer.

Lakers lol.

Timofey Mozgov entered the league at age 24. While I cannot jump for joy in this signing, its not as bad as people think.

64/4 with a team option for year 4 is essentially 48/3 if it doesn't work. If it doesn't work, he comes off the books the year when Russell needs to be paid. If it doesn't work, the new CBA also has an amnesty clause embedded for sure.

His per 36 numbers.

As others have said, the $$$ are in line with similar C signings like Chandler, Lopez, Kanter, etc....

The timing? Lakers have 60-70 to spend and spending 16 right away on a solid C so that they can pitch their real FA target on the fact that there are a few vets committed to the team isn't a bad strategy. If LA didn't want to compete for the top tier Cs and didn't want to wait for guys who were going to give their current team's a chance to bid as well, Mozgov is a logical target.

All that being said, a 30 year old Mozgov gets 64?!!!!!

Ugh! We could have waited one more year then went all in with a core that has worked together for a few years.

The last year isn't guaranteed either. Mozgov has at least shown he's capable of playing up to that contract (2015) which is more than I can say about some of the signings over the last two years. There are players who are getting stupid money just based on potential or hope or something.

But really it's like 12 year 1, 14, 17, 21 (real rough numbers). Assuming a 34-35yo journeyman of a center doesn't earn that team option, really only 3 for 43 or 14ish per year.

Just trying to talk some Laker fans off the ledge.

That would be even worse imo. I doubt they could get that kind of deal with the 4th year being a team option at his age, I'm sure if it's an option it's a player option and paying a 34/35 year old Mozgov 21 million would be painful no matter what the cap is at that point.

If Mozgov was worth an average of $16 million per year the Lakers would be better off giving the 30 yr old Mozgov $20 million this year and a declining salary each year.

Who won the deal
