Bravelude won me over with that post
In hindsight, the Lakers dodged some bullets in free agency. Pretty much all of them have been garbo. Ironically pau has been among the best signings from this offseason

They said he was done. They said he was soft. They said he was 'available' for 'trade'. They mentally and physically disrespected/abused Pau. They neglected him, and called him washed. The fans said it was 'just' 10 days into the NBA season. They doubted him.
But my main man, Pau Gasol, who HELPED KOBE win 2 rings continues to do good. He continues to carry that class-act swag.

He's also the 4th best player on the team, hence, zero pressure, zero focus of other teams on him. Rose, Butler, and Noah take all the heat off him. Add to that, the Bulls bench is deep with players/gamers as well.
Pau is in the perfect spot. He would be worthless in LA, just as he's been the last 3 years.

^^ LOL. Yes, NO ONE has pressure except for DROSE. And it's not even the PRESSURE to WIN A RING, it's the pressure to PLAY.
But how many rings those guys got?
Well, I'm happy he's doing well, lots of INDIVIDUALS are in the PERFECT SPOT and PERFECT OPPORTUNITY, but it doesn't mean they'd do well. Pau HAND PICKED this himself, and he's definitely proving a lot of people wrong.

5th big for a million... He's good. Nothing more.

I think Sacre is a fine fifth big (fourth if you have a high caliber center).
If the Lakers wait 30 days, Black becomes trade eligible.

Was hoping for a Jazz win but they really really suck. They are like the collection of random toys at the dollar store.

9 and 22
At Denver tonight
Vs Memphis Friday
Vs Pacers Sunday
At Portland
At Clippers
Play this right, 10 and 26 is quite doable. A week away from being able to trade Jordan Hill.
And then.....
Vs Orlando
Vs Portland
Vs Miami
Vs Clevleand
At Utah (back to back)
At Phoenix
At New Orleans
At San Antonio
Vs Houston
Vs Washington
Vs Chicago
That's 12 and 35 territory. 13 and 34 if we steal one. 11-36 if we choke one.
Pull. The. Plug.

I completely forgot Jordan Hill can't be traded until January 15. I dropped the ball on our Jordan Hill trade exchange..
As for Davis, his limitations is why I believe he won't get the Jordan Hill AAV. When he declines the player option, and also being a Pelinka guy, lock him up 3 years at slightly under market value.

Ed Davis is like a boss. He ain't give a crap about LA, dude doesn't even break a sweat, but plays w/ his De Andre (esqe) persona along with a sprinkle of finesse. That 'fake' Kobe' flex he does when he dunks the ball has me LOLing all the time.
Lakers catching all types of rejects. This ain't the LITTLE GIANTS. RICK MORANUS for life. HONEY, I shrunk the Lakers.

NBA Draft Showdown: Towns v. Harrell
Kentucky’s Karl Towns is just four inches taller than Louisville’s Montrezl Harrell, but in the draft, that might as well be a mile.

Tank watch 12/30
Pistons vs Magic...Pistons been playing well lately
Minnesota vs Utah...leaning towards the Jazz, but a T'Wolves wouldn't hurt either.

I'm immensely curious about Roy Hibbert's free agency.
Defensive Metrics of production has had him right there with Dwight every season since 2011-12. His problem is he's terrible at Defensive Rebounding, and has an even more limited offensive game than Dwight. BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT still the Pacers are a Top 10 Defense, despite losing Lance Stephenson & Paul George. Which is a testament to Hibbert's impact on defense.
He won't get maxed. That's out of the question.
He may end up being to bottoming out Center in terms of Contract. With Gasol then Jordan. Al Jefferson, who will opt out for a long term deal, he'll get near max, if not a max. I think Asik likely gets valued over Hibbert as well because of the lack of mental questions. Add in Vucevic & Kanter, who some team could try to make a run at as RFA. Then lesser options in Robin Lopez and Chandler who will be $12m-ish. And maybe a team tries to go Center by committee with Brandan Wright's and Ed Davis' of the NBA. Even Jordan Hill will be a FA, if we don't trade him.
Roy Hibbert could end up being the guy who falls through the cracks, and gets low balled on a deal. I'm assuming his agent is telling him not to opt out, but if he does, that's who you target.
All assuming we don't get the #1 pick, in which you have to take Jahlil Okafor.
