To sign KCP. They were supposedly hoping he'd clear waivers so they could sign him to a minimum contract, but the Bulls snatched him up.
I liked him, too, but big deal.

Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2017 9:14 am " . . .the simplest way for LA to increase its 2018 spending power is shedding the three years and $37.5 million owed to Jordan Clarkson. A three-team swap with theCharlotte Hornets and Brooklyn Nets could make that happen without routing any long-term money to Hollywood.
Clarkson goes to Charlotte, giving the Hornets a badly needed backcourt scorer to take some heat off Kemba Walker. Brooklyn aligns the salaries and picks up Jeremy Lamb, Johnny O'Bryant III and a 2018 second-round selection for participating.
LA brings back only expiring contracts—$9.1 million for Trevor Booker and the non-guaranteed $1.3 million salary of Treveon Graham. That might seem a disappointing return to some, but Clarkson has been a below-average player (minus-4.02 real plus-minus, 70th among 78 point guards, per ESPN.com) making above-average money ($11.5 million next season, fourth on the team and 104th overall).
Besides, if dumping Clarkson is the difference in snagging a second star, it's an easy sacrifice to make.
It's fun to fantasize about the many different uses of next summer's cap space. What's not as entertaining is trying to determine the ideal outcome of Julius Randle's restricted free agency.
"What are you supposed to give a high-energy playmaker and finisher who isn't a three-point threat (27.3 percent for his career) and shouldn't be defending 3s or 4s?" Bleacher Report's Dan Favale wrote.
Randle is tricky to price on his own. His track record is light for his draft class—thanks to the broken leg that effectively wiped out his 2014-15 rookie season—and his future is far from defined. He has some contemporary big man skills (handles, lateral quickness) but lacks the most coveted ones (rim protection and floor spacing).
He might be a keeper, but the Lakers need sure things to engineer a quick turnaround. A team such as the Brooklyn Nets, though, can afford to wait on Randle's development and should be more willing to gamble on his potential, given their shallow asset pool.
But for the Lakers to part with Randle, they have to dump Deng in the process."

Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 6:51 amThe Lakers signed some cat named Briante Weber to a training camp deal. This here below is funny as hell. BTW, follow Laker Film Room on Twitter or just bookmark lakerfilmroom.com. This guy is a genius in breaking down film and is a truly great guy to boot. He's very engaging on Twitter if you want some deep Lakers stuff from a True Fan!
