These dummies really traded a solid young big man that gave us size and scoring in the paint for some bum shooter that can’t shoot. If I wanted Brian Cook I’d watch lowlights from the mid-00s. 
Plus iirc, Zu can shoot threes but decided against it as it isn’t a strength. They better have their eyes on the next Jokic or else this was just dumb.

It’s gonna be very tough..even if the clips start losing (which everybody expects), you need the spurs and the kings to hit a bad stretch PLUS the lakers gotta be almost perfect these last 27 games. On some 20-7 shyt
Those losses against the knicks and the cavs are gonna haunt them

I don't like the move either...but they did it for Ingram....These dummies really traded a solid young big man that gave us size and scoring in the paint for some bum shooter that can’t shoot. If I wanted Brian Cook I’d watch lowlights from the mid-00s.

Ingram
Rondo/zo
Bullocks
Kcp
Muscala
That will open the floor for him and they can separate him and kuz minutes longer

I understand the sentiment but I think that could’ve been done without sacrificing Zu. Hell, Bullock was a great first step in that. We didn’t need this other guy if he was anything other than a dead eye shooter. If that was the case I’d at least be kinda ok with the deal. Zu wasn’t creating a logjam for Ingram.

ZupacIf you wanted melo you could have just waived beasley.
If you needed a stretch 4, you could have just waited for buyout options. Markieff is better than muscala (and the lakers have interest in him,) and melo and could have been had without giving up zubac. Hell, id rather frank kaminsky instead of giving up zubac

Exactly, Markieff is a WAY better option for the stretch 4 we needed. Zu would’ve helped us big time imo especially given how cheap his contract is. Even if you open the spot for Melo it’s so many players that fit our needs more that’ll also be on the buyout market.
I agree, but one of the factor that is a great determiner in all of this is the perception some have of the lakers now (at least what the media is pushing), that its a possible toxic environment. That and the consideration of available mins.
Yeah the press isn’t too good for us right now. But the fact that there are legit needs on this team will at least guarantee that they’ll get an opportunity. I think for them they gotta feel like their addition can help them get more PT and secure a bag + the playoffs has to still be possible for this team.
Honestly if DeAndre was available I’d consider waiving another player if possible.

Been behind on my nba shyt.
How unlikely is it we don’t make the playoffs?

It’s possible, we gotta be nearly perfect for the rest of this season. Basically every game is a playoff game right now. We’re not far behind but the teams in front aren’t tryna give up ground.
We’ve seen Kobe do this multiple times. First time we’re gonna see Bron do this for us.

Last year is last year, but we need finish strong like the Utah Jazz did. They were actually in a bigger hole than us (19-28) in Jan, ended up finishing (48-34) on the season by getting red hot a little bit before this time last year. We can’t afford much more losses (28-27) and we get Zo back, hopefully little bit after the All-Star break and he’s how he was before he went down
