Lakers Waive Upshaw; Keep Sacre; What....

holmes and jbrown

I kind of liked Jabari Brown, but we are loaded with guards unfortunately

Huertas is the responsible, he made Sacre look like a basketball player

i honestly felt the same way last night. not a slight to clarkson, but hes not good at running the pick and roll as a passer, yet. so every time upshaw set a high screen for him, clarkson would over dribble in the paint and force a bad pass at the wrong time through a crowded defense

Upshaw never had the luck of playing with huertas, who could/would have made him looked very passable as a pnr big man.

At least Tarik Black is the back up center. Far far better than both players.

I predicted this partway through last night's preseason outing; after administering the eye test on his performance last night, I can't say I have any major grievances as well. Last night's game has proven to be his last chance to try out, yet his defense

This stuff is invaluable.

LOL GOAT bench!!

[Bosnian Sajo]

It was expected, Sacre's contract is already guaranteed and Upshaw has done nothing to impress anyone as of right now. Good luck in the Dleague to him, I was hyped at first cause I saw 4.5bpg, but we would of been better off giving Cliff Alexander a chance.

I can't help but think that what happened to Odom probably gave them pause about signing another unstable player with a history of drug use.

at least Sacre sets good screens

I'm surprised Upshaw cleared waivers. The Lakers got a break on that as he'll sign with the D-Fenders. He looks like he lost 20lbs over the summer and was in great shape, really put out a lot of effort out there but it was all for nothing.

Anyone can sign him from the D-Fenders

He was kicked out of two colleges and nearly a third. Has admitted himself that he has substance abuse problems. It's no surprise not many teams want to take a chance on him yet, if he is really turning his life around they'll let him do some time in the d-league and then talk to his d-league coach for a reference.

Seems like he has turned for the better but that absence of college (2 years worth of ball) has him behind the learning curve. Could easily become a very servieable player if he keeps his head straight in the d-league.
