    What is it with our fan base that covets players that either dont, want or cant be here? Bogut can hold this L he blew us off b4, same with that mark Gasol, derek fish, chris bosh.... did i miss anyone? Sheesh. They dont want HOU, why the hell should we want them? Correction we do NOT want!

    I really don't think Bogut fits with this team .... He cant get up and down the court , would be gassed after 2 minutes.


    He might be good for a couple hard fouls on Green / Curry ..... but that's about it.

    If they pick up another big , I would prefer it to be a very athletic guy who's long and can get up and down the court , set good screens , roll hard , finish above the rim and play solid defense .... even if it was a developmental player (Capela clone?) That's the modern center ..... and doesn't describe Bogut at all , he's a center from a bygone era.

    I mean...like who?

    Pickings are slim right now.

    He's a situational player, that's fine for me. My guess is against the Spurs or Twolves in the playoffs...we'll need every big body we can get. Spurs frontcourt destroyed us last year.

    Bogut can sit down playing faster teams.

    "Work with the Lak3Sh0ow'6?"

    @Codman's signature has me hyped. I would love Julius Randle. His energy with Greens off the bench would be something.

    Well I’m not the one that said it but Tyson would be nice better than Black. Though Tarik has played better lately.

    As an Australian and a Rockets fan, I wouldve liked him in Houston when he left GSW. But not now. Feel like he's aged 10yrs since he left em.

    Yeah I know, Codman had 3 and 0 within the lakeshow. Clarkson doesn't make sense here because of his salary and position but Randle makes perfect sense. Randle's salary is 4.1M

    30 = Rande
    6 = Clarkson

    The lakers have shown they want to trade both to make cap room to throw money at Free Agents, we might be able to get both for cheap.
    IMO the biggest distraction seems to be the front office openly wanting to trade everyone on the team not named Ingram or Ball, and then not giving said trade bait any minutes. Randle's physicality alone would help us, a great rebounder for his size and a decent perimeter defender. IDK what clarkson would add to this team now that we have Gerald Green tho.

    Not that I care for Bogut on this team, but there was also a time when Dwight and CP3 didnt wanna be on this team, but then they did.

    Anderson and Demetrius Jackson for Randle and Clarkson works in the trade machine.


    Edit: Troy Williams and Nanu for Randle works as well.
