Forget about few months ago, a lot hated this signing last week. But with that said, thread a little premature. Hope we don't feel different next week.

Hey, give the man some love this week. Next week is next week. But for now, we are undefeated!

I'd love to. Been rooting for the guy and is one of my favorites just because he's such an underdog. Just tempering my expectations though and hoping not to jinx anything.

But for the first game. Good showing.

A lot of guys here hated this signing and Deng's. But tonight Moz played good and Deng made plays when it mattered.

May have been one of 2 or 3 posters on this board who thought this was a great signing for us... Still do. As long as he can stay healthy, Mozgov can be a big factor for us. I love the chemistry he already has with the other bigs. It looks fun out there.

I like both Mozgov and Deng but they will very likely come to bite us in the final two years.

I love how the 'I hate this signing', 'I love this signing', 'I hate this signing', 'I love this signing' posts start popping up.

He's good, definitely an upgrade over Hibbert, but I can't stand the fact that people write their opinions on a board without doing research. 64 million isn't a steal, but its a very good contract as compared to the new that will be agreed upon soon.

And in 2018 offseason, when PG&DMC will be UFA.

lol here we go again, hell have 3 bad games in a row and drop the ball a few times and well have "why did we sign this bum?" thread.

I hate how much crap he gets. I love Mozgov. He'll probably never be a stasticial beast, but he's a huge presence in the paint, excellent in pick and rolls and adds much needed toughness to a young team. I think he's going to be our version of Bogut.

His contract isn't even that ridiculous. It might be a year too long, but sometimes you gotta roll the dice.

Yeah...he did alright last night. I was pretty happy with him.

Still not a fan of the signing. One game won't change that. But I will def change my opinion of the guy with more games like that. I never felt like he slowed us down. Did only play 22 minutes. Perhaps that allows him to run. Gotta admit: 12 points and 8 boards in 22 minutes is not shabby.

Winning changes everything. Just look....Luke only played Russell 29 minutes, and I haven't heard anyone howling to the heavens yet. This was tantamount to treason last year...but with a nice little "W" nobody gives a rip.

My biggest issue was thinking Mozgov was gonna slow us down, and be this useless doofus. Already, I can see that isn't the case. His D is good, and we need that. His contract is long...the money isn't that bad. We overpaid...but whatever. Let's see if he keeps this up. We need a solid center. I don't know why any Laker fan would root for the guy to fail. If he works out...great. But I wanna see some more before I change my mind.

Felt like a stronger, less skilled Pau.

Love is a little much after only 1 date and 22 mins of fun...

But I'm totally looking towards our next outing

TylersLakers · Post #20 » by **TylersLakers** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 5:03 am

Coming from probably his strongest critic.. The signing of him for that contract questioned my loyalty to this team..

He shut me the hell up. Hopefully he keeps on doing it.

It's nice to have a C who doesn't fall over 5 times a game.
