Worst decision ever.  I was happy about Ingram but Mozgov......terrible.

Mozgov makes no sense on this Laker team. I guess the Warriors found use for Bogut in their fast paced offense. So, there's hope? That's a lot of money committed to a guy who'll likely play ~18 minutes per game.
 
Mozgov will be as productive as hibbert was.  Waste of money.  Hope he proves me wrong.

Use remaining cap space and get jerry west.
 
Clarkson is a bargain compared to the insane money other guards are getting... like Bradley Beal. And he's better than Lin.

Mozgov isn't bad, I'd rather have him than Noah (NY is going to be the all-injury team). Still not sure why they didn't go after Bismack, he has more upside than Timofey.

So no Batum... which would just stymie Ingram... anyone of value left?
 
Maybe I just don't see mozgov being a good fit in a young team with fresh legs, unless l.walton decides to run some type of hybrid triangle offense he learned under phil and mozgov would be more of a bill wennington, luc longley, Cartwright type of role...

Agreed, but Bogut is a big tall stiff too, and he seems to work sufficiently well in the Ws' offense.
 
If nothing else, Mozgov provides an enormous body to set screen after screen for the young guns. At 30 mins per, he should get double-digit boards. I'm not sure how much of a defensive presence he is. He's long, that's certain.

It's an upgrade. A very, very, expensive upgrade at the 5.

The next Mike Smrek
 
Still wondering why not spend less on AlJeff... or see what Bismack is asking for.

Even check on Fezili or Mahini.... it's not like there was a huge demand for Timofey (although there was interest from other teams).
 
Because the lakers already know those guys are out or reach....better get a 30yr old poster center than nothing

We don't know, but we can just guess.
Speculation: the LA team reached out and the agents said no or told them to wait.
