Look at our other center options. He HAS to play 16-18mpg at least.
Really wish we kept Brook and had Javale as a change of pace big man off the bench though. But Javale played very well last night and thank goodness we have him. |
He looked like he was gasping for air after one of his baskets.
Hopefully it's just him getting into game shape. But who knows. |

It's mostly out of necessity. We looked much better with him than without him. He's going to have to play closer to 20mpg IMO. Hopefully he can handle that.

| Makes such a difference having a big who can get up there and finish with ease, we haven't had that since the championship years. A much better fit for our team than Brook, great signing for the min! |

| I don’t understand why he can’t just have an inhaler with him on the sidelines. Asthma shouldn’t stop someone from playing basketball. |

Told y’all 
He’ll have goofball moments like any other player but his Shaqtin-ness was definitely overplayed / overstated. |

| This dude might be the best contract on the team making only the minimum. Nothing he did was flukey or stuff he couldn’t do on a nightly basis. About as good of a first impression as he could’ve had. |

Wish we could have afforded to keep Brook. The way this team is running JaVale's athletic asthma could be a problem. When these youngsters take if off the boards they're like the Road Runner getting away from Wile E Coyote. Zubac just isn't playing to what he was perceived to be. Much as I hate to say it, maybe we should have signed Howard. IMO $5,337,000 is worth the risk..

I really wanted Brook back, and he got what, 3m or something small like that?
A Brook/Javale/small ball C would have been cheap and effective.

Blasphemy, unless if the plan was to pay Dwight $5.3m to carry Bonga's bags for a whole season. |

I'm not sure the Lakers could have signed Brook for 3.3 million. If they could have we should have.

They could have (instead of Lance or even Beez). According to Brook the Lakers didn't want him back.

I sorta like what I saw with Lance last night. A little to much ISO for me. Beez has got to do better. I hope Lonzo plays at least 1 preseason. I want to see how our starting will do. SAS has the Lakers going to the WCF against the Warriors..

Difference of opinion. I think Dwight can be handled. I factor the James influence. If not $5.3 million is worth the risk.

Why couldn't we re-sign Brolo again? The lack of size was very apparent when McGee wasn't on the floor. Can't run and gun if you can't get the rebounds. Making Kooz into a center for small ball is a TERRIBLE idea. Who came up with that??  It's gonna affect his offensive production if he had to bang body against 7-footers. He won't have any energy left to run fastbreaks.

Most likely cuz he sucks. And he costs close to Zubac + Mo combined. |

Lance or Beez or Brook? I'd take Brook and you can keep one of Lance/Beez too.

Athletic asthma can be controlled with medication. I don't know how damaging it can be if taken to often. JaVale can play 10 minutes or more, rest 5 minutes, take effective preventative and maintenance medications, and have an asthma emergency plan. It's risky.

Then it comes down to who I want sitting at the bench. Lance or Brook. And I don't care for either yet. |

He doesn't suck. Now let's see how we really suck without his presence. That $12M for KCP could have been put to much better use. I know he's part of a package for Lebron but maybe we could have negotiated down to maybe 8-9M and have money left for Brolo.
I really, really hate not having a decent center. We've been thru this before with Hibbert and then Moz. Those were miserable years. Then we finally had a decent center in Brolo last year but then we didn't resign him. fml.
