Guiness Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 With the available free agent Centers on the list, you got guys like Whiteside, Howard, and Drummond who are considered top Centers. Drummond is certainly not going to sign with LA he's a restricted free agent. Whiteside already made his decision and its between the Heat, Mavs and Blazers. Howard didn't even consider LA at all. Not that the Lakers were interested in him anyway. So outside of these Centers is pretty much slim pickings. Will they just re-sign Hibbert? I think Hibbert's time in LA is over so he's not gonna be there. I still don't get why they signed Mozgov to this much money. Are they thinking that no other free agent is going to come to LA this summer? If so, i'm not surprised. No one wants to come to the Lakers because they are too young and didn't show much last season to give any pause for a free agent to look at them and show interest. They have a good mix of young talented pieces right now. but without a Superstar game changing player. They won't be contending with the teams in the West. They can certainly say goodbye to their hopes of signing Kevin Durant because that window is closed. Ingram is a nice addition, but they don't honestly think that they will carry this team by himself? He's too young and too raw not to mention skinny he'll be bounced around through the physicality of screens and defense by bigger opposing forwards. At this point i don't see them making the playoffs again for this season. Quote Link to comment
darksoulriver Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 dun s list ng center pwede na yung Tyler Zeler for now sa LA masipag yung player better choice. Quote Link to comment
Gringo* Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 mukhang maganda season ng lakers ko YipEE!! acquiring T. Moscov from Cavs tapos drafted a 7'2 Zubac..solid frontcourt ito plus Ingrams on wings or second spot.. I think Clarkson and D'Russel will be playing PG position.. Randle/Bass s power forward is really sound SOLID team atleast in my side.. I don't expect them to win it all this coming season but a 1st-2nd round playoff will be great achievement for coach LUKE Quote Link to comment

Guiness Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 .... Or another round at the 2017 draft..... At least building their future thru draft picks....it seems free agents are avoiding the lakers..... as i've been reading and following the draft process not just this year but in years past. i've noticed that Free Agents don't seem too interested in playing for the Lakers anymore. They have the cap space to sign any available Free Agent, guys like Kevin Durant or Lebron James like type players. But for some reason no one wants to come, not even the mid level all star type players like Derozan aren't interested and he was available before he re-upped with the Raptors. Let me go back a couple years back in 2008 when the Lakers made an incredible steal by trading for Pau Gasol, which led to them being back in contention and getting 2 championships in the process. Even when they got Dwight Howard in a trade a couple of years ago. It didn't matter, because Howard didn't stay with them. He could have chosen to get more money by staying with the Lakers but instead he went for less to sign with Houston. Last year they could have gotten Lamarcus Aldridge to sign with them but even the allure of playing in LA couldn't convince him to sign. At first i thought it was because most free agents didn't want to play with Kobe. But Kobe's era is done and yet, no one is coming and the best they could do is sign Timofey Mozgov? This is the Lakers we are talking about. Not some small market team in the Midwest who builds through the draft. if you look at their history, they have always managed to sign marquee free agents. Shaq, Gasol to name a few and built around them through trades and such. They have always remained competitive. So What's wrong with the Lakers? Why doesn't anyone want to play with them? If they have such a promising young core that is talented, why is it that no one is giving them a 2nd look? Quote Link to comment
direstraits94 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Luol Deng reached agreement with the Lakers on a 4 years $72 million Quote Link to comment
Guiness Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Source: Luol Deng, Lakers agree to four-year, $72 million dealESPN.com news services 11:10 PM CTFree agent Luol Deng has agreed to a four-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers that is worth $72 million, a source confirmed to ESPN's Chris Broussard on Saturday. The agreement was first reported by The Vertical. After struggling to find consistency and a comfortable role through much of his two seasons in Miami, Deng blossomed when he shifted from small forward to power forward with All-Star Chris Bosh lost in February for the second time to treat blood clots. Deng, 31, averaged 15.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 28 games after the All-Star break, when he shot 48.4 percent from the field in 31.4 minutes. Deng's versatility on both ends of the court was vital in the Heat's transition to an up-tempo pace over the second half of the season and fueled their push to the second round of the playoffs. "He was getting more space and room to run and cut and be himself," Heat president Pat Riley said of Deng, a 12-year veteran who spent his first nine seasons with Chicago. "He's a great leader. We love him. He's a high-character guy. I consider him one of our core people." The Lakers also have agreed to deals with Jordan Clarkson (four years, $50 million) and center Timofey Mozgov (four years, $64 million) and have made qualifying offers to Tarik Black and Marcelo Huertas. The deal cannot be signed until July 7.Deng earned $10.1 million last season in the final year of a two-year deal in Miami. But with limited salary-cap space and retaining Dwyane Wade a clear priority after keeping Hassan Whiteside, bringing back Deng appeared to be a huge challenge for the Heat entering free agency. Information from ESPN's Michael Wallace was used in this report. Quote Link to comment
azraelmd Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Man....no disrespect to deng,...but he isnt one of those high caliber free agents that the lakers are aiming for.... Still at least a veteran to watch over and teach those kids( ingram, russel, randle and clarkson)..... Quote Link to comment
rooster69ph Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ganun talaga, the Lakers are not the favored destination of top tier free agents considering they are not close to even becomming a playoff team even with the presence of a promising young core. Top tier FA would obviously want to chase that elusive ring rather than baby sit. In fact given the same $$$, 2nd or 3rd tier FA would likely play for a contending or at least a competitive team. That is why the Lakers have to overpay at this point to immediately secure these players. Quote Link to comment
