Really discouraging we didn't try everything to get jerry back.
Jeanie and Jerry dont like each other. We were never going to try and he was never going to want to come back with her in charge.

If Jerry doesn't like Jeannie, why did he want to come back under her watch? I thought magic turned the idea of him coming back down.
Absolutely not. I had no contact with the Lakers. Honestly, I would’ve never gone back there even if they would’ve contacted me. Never had any conversations, never had a desire there. I knew that would’ve never happened.”

Thats not true. In his own words, Jerry said he was never going to come back to the Lakers even if contacted.Absolutely not. I had no contact with the Lakers.

I did not know that. Thanks for that, Doc.

Depends what the 4th pick in the draft nets us.

I think a lot of people forget how awful Lopez was for us 95% of his time here... He was virtually useless until the final few months of the season. Then he caught fire and looked OK...
And him shooting and hitting 3s is great but we don't need that as much as we need a defensive presence down low to help cover for the next biggest guy on the court's unwillingness to play D.
I'm fine with letting Lopez walk... Trading Zubac was a far dumber move.

WIth the 8% raises per year he'll be at vaguely 50 mil in his final year, aged 34, if he gets his full max. That's brutal.
