If we sign melo that is so dumb for so many reasons. For one, it's melo. And then he's a stretch 4. That's what muscala is supposed to be. So you literally traded zubac for nothing. To a team you are directly competing with for a playoff spot. When they could've just signed melo outright after cutting Beasley. After cutting Thomas Bryant in favor of zubac. Just dumb
Look how dumb this front office is. Can’t make this **** up
- They choose Zubac over T. Bryant basically.
- They let Brook Lopez go when dude was willing to take a paycut
- They draft Wagner because they want shooting from the C position (meanwhile Brook is shooting 36% and Bryant 38% from 3. Both being bonafide 7 footers and playing good defense too).
- Go into the season with a dude who got the woat lungs and no real option at backup center
- Get a 40 year washed Tyson chandler who really can’t do **** after realizing they don’t got a backup center after 5 games
- Starts playing Zubac out of necessity who then proves to be more valuable than chandler
- Their #1 draft pick barely sees the floor because trash defense
- Trades their backup center for a nobody
The lakers tried to get a Lob/screen and roll guy in McGee and a shooting center in Wagner.. instead we got no shooting at the center position, no backup center, no defense at the center position, and traded a young guy for nothing. Back to square 1
Coulda all been resolved by resigning Brook Lopez, keeping TB, and drafting Mitchell Robinson. That solves shooting/defense/PnR/Lob and gives you two promising centers with different skill sets that they can utilize.
We got idiots in the FO man
