RE: Lakers made a move to get a late first round pick
The Lakers did not make the move for the late first round pick. They basically just searched
for a deal to dump the terrible Mozgov contract to go for the big free agents next summer.
I could imagine further seeing another deal like this with Deng to make even more space.
Here are both contracts to see again how awful they are:
2016/17 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20
Luol Deng $18,000,000 $17,190,000 $18,000,000 $18,810,000
Timofey Mozgov $16,000,000 $15,280,000 $16,000,000 $16,720,000
Thanks mickwnz, this is indeed a very great point, the signing of mozgov last year turnout was very awful for lakers. However i guess paying angelo might be a heavy price for the lakers and guess they will definitely lock in a poing guard in this year draft and probably make an early move on paul george if pacers does not ask for too much.
yes, I agree totally with you and the Lakers have still Clarkson who can be a good backup behind whatever point guard they draft.
