To expand the deal: Splitter, Baze, Scott and Brooklyn 2nd for Mozgov, Lou and Nance - we fix 2 spots, backup C and instant bench offense plus a young prospect. LAL gets cap relief and 2nd.

TheNorthCydeRises Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Adding Lou means no Delaney. Can't play them both together for an extended period of time, due to defense. Lou is having a tremendous season though. It's between he and Eric Gordon for the 6th man of the year award this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mostly agree, but not completely... and/but regardless, don't see that as a problem. My working theory, though, has been that LAL is going to hold out for a high price... you're either going to have to fork over a 1st or you're going to have to accommodate Deng and his $18m contract someway somehow in the deal. I'm slow to think Budcox is going to see Lou Will as a viable option, as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Cause they're tanking and guys like Mozgov, Lou and Deng don't match their timeframe for winning. In exchange for us (or some other team) providing them salary relief, they'll likely have to come up off a guy like Nantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are trying to dump the contracts of Mozgov, Deng and Lou - they have to offer an incentive - Moz and Deng have big contracts and not part of their future.

HawkItus Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Lou was here and Lou was shipped out. Pipe dream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand trying to dump Mozgov but do not think they are interested on trading Lou, he is a bargain at that price and is an important piece of what they are doing today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaceCase Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Deng and Mozgov weren't signed to help the Lakers win, they're there so their kids can learn professionalism from anyone not named Swaggy P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameTime Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hq64u6u Get it done. Lakers want to keep their top 3 lotto protected pick this year. PG-Dennis 33, Lou 15 SG-Timmy Jr. 20, Young 19, Lou 9 SF- Bazemore 25, Bembry or Prince 15, Timmy Jr. 8 PF- Millsap 34, Hump or Prince 14 C-Howard 32, Moose 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamarHampton Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Lou is a steal at $7m/yr for the rest of this year and next. Perennial sixth man candidate. Gets on insane runs of hitting damn near anything on the floor, especially from deep when moving to his left. And an Atlanta guy. I would welcome him back with open arms, but that's also because im partial to having Atlanta people on the roster so it doesn't feel so much like we are just cheering for jerseys. (I think if we had to have rosters with something like 50-75% from the state where your team is then Atlanta would kill most other teams. But anyway...) you don't turn away that kind of production (18.5 ppg) on that kind of a deal even if it comes from a crappy team. Depends on what they're asking of course. But you try and make something work if he is available. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted February 11, 2017 Moderators Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 'Cause they're tanking and guys like Mozgov, Lou and Deng don't match their timeframe for winning. In exchange for us (or some other team) providing them salary relief, they'll likely have to come up off a guy like Nantz. I like the idea of getting three guys that fill three needs on our roster, all the while dumping Splitter and Bazemore... but I hate the idea of bringing back old prom dates. The history this team has with Lou and Deng should be enough to say no... Is tempting tho. Deng can still defend and give 8 ppg. Lou is a proven 6th man. Mozgov would be a nice pairing for Moose tho.

Thomas Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Seems like Lou could balance out the backcourt backup minutes with him and Bembry playing at the same time. Bembry with his size and defense even with no perimeter shot yet surely would workout better than having Delaney involved. Our defense likely would not suffer as much as it would look on paper because of Bembry and we know Lou would most often cover plenty of scoring for us and also get to the foul line to help our scoring efficiency with his free throw percentage (88% this season). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
