MY NOTE:  This will hurt our Lakers pick.  Can't say I understand this.  Does he think he is going to start in front of Brook Lopez?

He will probably get injured again not that I would wish that on anyone.

The way I see it the Celtics dodged a bullet.

I did not want him anyways.  No need to add broke down players.

Lakers are a weird choice for Bogut with Lopez and Zubac already in place there.

MY NOTE:  This is quite weird.  Another trade in works for LA?

Was told that most of all Bogut was looking to win, so this would indicate Cs didn't make push. Also potentially hurts Cs' Lakers pick a bit twitter.com/shamscharania/…

MY NOTE: Depends upon how big the contract is for. We could only offer rhe minimum, I think. We might have just been outbid by a lot.

Current roster now has 6 players on the roster at 6'9" and 240 lbs plus. Bogut just needed for short minutes as Lopez backup.

Heard it was a partially guaranteed contract.

I don't understand this signing for the Lakers or Bogut.
At this point in his career, I am sure he wants to compete for a championship.
He signed late last year with the Cleveland, which made a ton of sense.
Why the Lakers this year?

As for the Lakers, they already have Lopez as their starting center, Zubac as his backup and I was expecting Randle to be the 3rd/small ball center.
I wonder if LA is planning on trading Zubac this year for a future draft pick. I do think LA could get a future lottery protected 1st round pick for Zubac.

I wouldn't be surprised if LA trades Bogut near the trade deadline or waives him late in the season so he can play for a contender.

Signing Bogut was odd to me. I wonder what the reasoning behind it was.

TJ,

This is quite odd to me also.  It occurred to me this is preceding a trade by the Lakers but I thought it hard to believe they would trade Zubac whom, as I have been lead to believe, is actually one of the most effective players on the Lakers in admittedly limited minutes and is still at the front end of a rookie contract.

Pelinka and Magic are no dummies (as opposed to Dim Buss and Kupchak), so I'm sure there's a method to their madness, it just isn't clear to me what it is at this time.

Maybe they'll just start Lopez at the 4. Have Zubac or Bogut start at the 5.

Clarkson might be worth a first round pick, but Zubac is not. Zizic will prove to be better in a couple of years

Lopez, Zubac and Bogut are all true centers.
There's no way Zubac or Bogut will take Randle's minutes.
I don't see how Bogut earns many minutes at all.

TJ,

I think he just fell for the Magic smile.

TJ is correct.
It doesn't make sense for the Lakers.

So those who think Magic Johnson will do what Ainge did and is doing for the Celts, think again!

It doesn't make sense to us right now.
It might make sense at some point this season.
Maybe you should give Magic a few years before you say he will or won't do things.

Maybe LA signed Bogut to be a mentor for Zubac.
Lopez is not that defensive/rebounding mentor that LA might want for Zubac.

It will probably come down to Bogut or Vander Blue making the team.
Either way, it's the 15th roster spot.
Not much to worry about.

Probably just a short term investment for the Lakers - who could possibly roll him over, later in the season, for a player with more future value.

Maybe this is why Bogut was signed.

Lopez is hurt, and will some of the preseason due to a back injury. Bogut will make the team. Shows how much they think of Zubac!

they are also playing in the tough WC, theres still a lot of beef in the paint over there, Magic felt they needed more beef, he clearly is not tanking.

LOL!!!

The Lakers really like Zubac.
He will be their starting center if Lopez misses time.
Bogut will be his back up.

Who really cares - they are 2-3 years away from the playoffs anyway.....and weren't you just suggesting Zubac could get them a first round draft pick?
I hardly think so

I wish I had the crystal ball you have.
How do you know what the Lakers roster will look like a year from now?
Yes, the Lakers could get a first round pick for Zubac.
He is a young center who plays well on offense and defense.
