The Lakers dumped him knowingly He can’t be the starting center or even playing meaningful minutes on a contender Why? He can’t play pick and roll defense He’s an absolute cone on defense vs smaller players On offense he has fumblitis and is clumsy and blocky He can’t make quick reads he is not a read and react guy He has no range on his J, consistently All he is a garbage man clean up missed shots and grab defensive boards, he’s a usable body against Jokic or the biggest teams like Minnesota Am I wrong? Why wouldn’t Lue just play Brooklyn Nets ball and go with one PG and 4 wings at this point (Russ, Harden, Kawhi, PG, Mann)

      Just not true. People wanted Hartenstein starting over him, and he got loads of hate when he was utterly dominated by Luka in the regular season & playoffs. He also got dominated by Ayton. People have been frustrated by him since post-bubble. He’s had a lot of lulls in the regular season as well, extremely inconsistent.

      I’ve been down on him as a player forever. Everything op said is true and I’ll add that he’s not athletic or a lob/transition threat.
