Quin Cook signs with the Lakers

[brownmamba00]

6 mill/2year deal.

[DMAVS41]

Nice.

Lakers doing a good job building this out with what is left, but still going to be a pretty bad cast.

[DocSlam]

Good player. Someone in that front office is making some moves..

Well with Kawhi they would of had worse cast.. but a big 3...with that said lakers need to make smart moves filling out roster cousins and or Morris would be nice additional pieces at this point.

[NBASTATMAN]

QUINN Not a bad player for that price..


15 MILLION A YEAR FOR KAWHI'S VALET GUY WAS A BIT TOO MUCH THOUGH :oldlol:

With Leonard it doesn't matter.

That is irrelevant as they were winning multiple titles for sure in the next few years with college players.

It is a perimeter league so Marcus would be better.. He is a nice player.. And would probably be the LAKERS third best player if they were able to get him.. NO.. Kuzma isnt as good as Morris cuz Morris can actually defend and he is a tough guy.. Every team needs a tough guy.. Lakers dont have any as of now..

Huh? You realize the lakers cap space is all gone now right? :lol :lol

Y did they pay Green 15 million a year ? WHAT a stupid move.. He is a nice addition for 8 million a year..

Danny Green - 15 mil

KCP - 8 mil

Javale McGee - 4 mil

I think they might be able to maneuver around KCP and McGee's contract to keep that cap space open. So they might still have 14 mil or so.

Huh? How can you maneuver around 14 mil?

[ZenMaster]

KCP and McGee on bird rights, you sign them after everyone else allows LA to go over the cap. That and the room exception for 4.8 mill is what should be left to sign players for.

[LAVAR BALL]

I'm even surprised to say it but...Lakers aren't doing so bad filling their roster

It may still have some holes but far less then 4 guys and a GLeague team

They are one AD injury away from missing the playoffs, though

[LoneyROY7]

I don't think you know what you're talking about, could you show the math that back this up?

I literally just posted the numbers.

Green - 15 Mil
Javale - 4 Mil
KCP - 8 Mil
Cook - 3 Mil

Add those numbers up and what do you get? 30 million. The amount of cap space the Lakers had with the AD trade going through.

[Kingwillball]

I literally just posted the numbers, genius.

Green - 15 Mil
Javale - 4 Mil
KCP - 8 Mil
Cook - 3 Mil

Lakers have 9.6 mil left Morris, cousins, Bradley.. at least one of those 3 should be signed.

Quin Cook is a bitch.

[oh the horror]

That Deng contract :facepalm

[DMAVS41]

That Deng contract :facepalm

Hilarious.

Not sure if the thread still exists, but so many Lakers fans argued with me forever about how they needed a strong veteran to influence the young guys and how that was a good deal.

:facepalm

I don't know what Lakers fans you were arguing with but if you actually posted in Lakers forum, quite a few of us were confused by the Deng/Mozgov signings. They made no sense at the time. They were overpaid, but more importantly too long & no way out. Jim Buss and Kupchuk didn't even have a team option on the 4th year to get out a year earlier.. They were always terrible deals :confusedshrug:

[GimmeThat]

in the past, he would have been the back to back game guy, now he's just out there so the Lakers don't seem anti-social

They were idiotic panic moves that none of us wanted at the time.
Team was in shambles and couldn't attract anyone, they proceeded to make the problem worse:lol

Did deng even play more than 5 minutes for the lakers or in the league again? Same with mozgod actually:roll:


Reminds me of the similar idiotic Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva Detroit pairing a few years back

[red1]

cook can shoot. just can't let this kid dribble.
