AB is struggling with health and will struggle to establish a role on this team when he gets back. I believe in his talent but his timeline and fit now make him difficult long term.

Once the bulldog is back the whole on our bench is at the two... kind of... I kind of like Dante at the one but would like a good balhandler alongside him.

So here we go...

AB for Lou Williams. Smaller contract, fewer years, can assume the role we'd have for Alec right now. I don't expect his current production but he's proven to be a really effective sixth man.

I'd likely want a second or to find a place to send Mack as well to free up some additional salary cap space for extensions of Favs and Hill, but AB for Lou is the main part of the deal.

I both hate it and like it... we are selling low on AB but I'm not sure we get much even if he comes back this year. Lou would fit current needs pretty well.
 
Not as bad as this trade.

I mean if Lou was getting Macks minutes we are better... oh right I forgot you love you some Shelvin Mack.

I'm just really struggling to see what Alec's role will be on this team when he gets back. If we put him in a place where he is unsuccesful his trade value will completely bottom and his contract may become a problem.

Injury prone. Not particularly productive. Big contract. His trade value is rock-bottom already.

I disagree with the productive part but everything else might be right. The Lakers might say no in this scenario.

Anyone saying Mack is better than Lou is just not worth arguing with.

No one has said Mack was better than Lou.....

Just saying this trade sucks. Burks > Lou. Have some damn patience you inbred ingrate.

Such an Internet tough guy... Inbred ingrate huh? You don't know **** about me. Maybe just say you don't like the trade instead of sophmoric personal insults...

Yeah the trade sucks. Just let Burks heal. That's why you're an ingrate because you aren't grateful for what Burks is going to do when he comes back. Inbred is just alliterative with ingrate so it sounds cool but it seemed to strike a chord.

No name calling is necessary whether it sounds cool or not... I am truly sorry for my ingratitude for something that has not and might not ever be bestowed upon me as a jazz fan... my apologies to AB and his family and friends... and Fish.
