This is one of the weird aspects of bird rights. The Lakers are in a bit of a bind with D-Lo. Sure, they can let him walk but who do they replace him with? Losing him doesn't open a salary slot because they're over the cap. All they could do is tag and trade him and hope to recover a shorter term bad contract in his place.
But since they have his bird rights and can go over the cap to retain him, they may be better served just paying him.
****ing hell the Lakers have no energy tonight. 2 offensive rebounds and they have ZERO ball movement but just take flat-footed jumpers. On the defensive side Davis gets his pocket picked then complains while play goes the other way. Nobody is stopping drives; just getting run past.
This is mostly just piss poor effort from LA. Nobody seems inclined to take control and they don't have anybody providing a spark either.
Gonna **** around and give home court back.
