    30 means nothing, look at his production. If the trade was for a first and a young guy like Dek or Trez, then I would have some buyer's remorse. But it was for Brewer, who would have needed to be packaged WITH a pick to just give away.

    Think on that for a moment.

    He plays big. He's a lot tougher than Brewer.

    The Lakers need to get to the bottom three picks so they can keep their pick from going to the 76'ers (who are *loaded* with picks and assets moving forward thanks to Sam f-ing Hinkie). Brewer getting big minutes would help them sink like a stone, so it is actually helpful to LA.

    I agree and that's why it makes sense for the Lakers. It just looks terrible on paper.

    Could we actually get Okafor or Noel? They were lottery picks...

    Morey is a the Yota of all GM'S. Dude is a master mind. Our offense just got even better. Lou and Gordon coming off the bench is going to be very lethal.

    We could... you know... actually play KJ in spots where we need some defense:)

    When he pulls his head out of his ass and gives MDA a reason to play him, we might see him on the floor.

    I like it. I think he fits without much issue. He's having a career year scoring, he's not dipping into Harden's assist game, only adding scoring that Corey wasn't providing. Depth is going to be magnified by this move because doubling EGo is no longer going to be quite as effective. A+ move. Loved him in Atlanta, why not love him now. Welcome Lou.

    We got rid of Brewer. I now believe anything is possible.

    It's not too late, we still have KJ and some other 'pieces' we can cash in for talent. Lou is a great upgrade for the bench.
