At age 20, playing under 30 mins? Literally no one.
And this is why these advanced stats and shyt don't translate half as often as people believed they do. He won't put up much better numbers with a higher usage rate. They don't have the value you put in it when you consider the team he was playing for when he posted them.

You have people totally disregarding Kevin Loves numbers before Cleveland, which were amazing, because of the team he was on vs the team he is in now. He's almost a completely different level player. A level down. It doesn't carry over all the time.

The Warriors were built through the draft, 3 of their 4 all-stars were drafted by them, they also put a working team out on the floor before they started pursing free agents. They traded Monta because they needed a center and already knew what he was, not to get more capspace.
So what do you think getting Lopez does for us next season? Putting in work for next season no? Does DLO help the team more than Brook at this stage of his career? Are free agents thirsting to play with DLO?

Lakers aren't getting LeBron but the team obviously needed to be overhauled. Not only that, Magic and Pelinka are going to want to have their players and vision out on the court instead of Mitch and Jim's.

I think they are trying to follow the Warriors model with a super rangy lineup. A PG/Lonzo/Ingram backcourt would be interesting to say the least.
DLO is rangy.

Lopez expires after next year, this was simply a salary dump, you gonna act like Lopez wont cut into Zubac's minutes too?

So in the end Sean Marks got Brooklyn a lottery pick :scheming:...for basically an expiring contract...

Mozgov contract doesn't matter to Brooklyn...they might be able to flip it in two years...and they are so far away from being good who really cares...

See this is why I wanted this dude to be Swag Antonio GM when rc goatford hangs it up :mjcry:

Get lottery picks without a lottery pick brehs :mjcry:

but yeah, bad trade for LA

all they had to do was stop with the Russell at PG bullshyt, have the outspoken locker room leader NOT be Nick Young, and be patient

that's all they had to do.
They're stuck with Mozgov for 4 more years if they don't move him. They likely offered Clarkson or some else and Nets said "No."
