Buyout market

[fishonjazz]

That's ridiculous. Players shouldnt have movement rights taken away under any circumstance. By and large most players on the buyout market are pretty washed. Drummond is a very rare circumstance.

If anything, you impose harsher penalties on teams and/or players who are buying out/getting bought out. Make players give up more money to leave a situation and/or make teams pay more to remove a player.

So players shouldn't have movement rights taken away but....... They should be made to be penalized which might make them less likely to move......

It sucks... I'd hope we get the #1 seed and that LA is at least in the 7/8 position. With the way the play in tourney works I think the Lakers would likely land 7th... the league can't have them in a 1 game loser misses the playoffs situation.

I've started rooting for them to win games like they had last night.

I have started to root for them as well

If Ersan was in any kind of playing shape, I wonder how well he could body Drummond/Gasol.

Drummond? Poorly is how

Their shooting numbers are down. Significantly.

Ya I imagine they are much worse without lebron and AD.

Seemed like when they were healthy they were right at the top of the standings though.

Those numbers were down before the injuries, iirc

I would have taken a flyer on cousins.

Fair enough.
I do remember them being #1 in defense though and having a great record.

If the Lakers are all healthy then that's who I would bet on to win it all unfortunately.

However, hopefully them having a tougher path and not having home court in addition to having to gel quickly after getting healthy will be to much for them

They had one of the easiest schedules up to that point. And a very easy travel load, too. Which matters a lot this year.

I definitely hear what you’re saying.... just adding some context.

Actually the fact is we're just better. No worries.

Ben McLemore!!! Getting waived by Houston. Never lived up to lottery status but has legit 3D potential and could definitely be a wing defender. Could thrive in Jazz system.

His NBA career has been checkered. He was selected no 7 in the 2013 NBA draft two higher than Trey Burke. Twelve players from that draft all played some minutes with the Jazz. Crazy.
