I can say that Luol is a professional plays 2-ways will be good in the locker room and will likely help mentor the younger players....Not a bad signing to me given the Lakers situation...

But Lakers fans ya"ll know that your giving the 76ers a lottery pick for sure now right? your too good to be a bottom 3 team again.

Lakers basically doing enough to ensure Philly gets their pick next year

Deng and mozgov don't move the needle why bother using all your cap space to get a little bit better?

Their attitude should have been to sign any of the top free agents or overpay people on one year deals to fill out the roster... Now they won't have cap space for next year and for what? To win 25 games this year?

Dinner should always be on Joe.

That Deng contract is terrible. What does he offer a rebuilding team? Lakers signing high priced role players, I just don't get it

 

[Da_Eggman]

these contracts

 

[Brozay]

Deng contract would be good for a team like Utah, who can't land any bigger names, and is actually close to being competitive

I just don't get it from the Lakers perspective

Philly should of gotten the pick this year, but thanks to the tank commander they didn't.

One year deals are what the Lakers have been doing the past 3 seasons.

It's improvement and progresss going forward. What one year deals would you have suggested to help the Lakers move forwad instead of backwards?

Lakers, a 17 win team, can't land big names either nor 2nd tier names.

I think lakers gave up on big name FA signing. They are now going with lets roll with youth and surround them with high character veterans and let them grow

Man they're not winning time soon. And deng will take minutes away from Ingram. $18 mil a year is a lot for a someone to come in as a mentor

They are 17 win team. I mean why are people having a hard time understanding this. KD and Westbrook are NOT leaving contenders for cellar dwellers.
