I kinda think that it was a mistake to send Trez out. He could have easily played the C and his energy is so great. I knew better about all the 3 shooters we got were waaaaay overrated, said so. There is usually a reason why Baze and Ellington and such fly from team to team. Should not have let Kidd go. Coach o the year?
Trez

Sorry, Dave, but I disagree completely. Trez was a mistake to sign in the first place as he is not a shot blocker or floor stretcher, which means he cannot protect the rim or create spacing. He was a poor fit for what the team needed and Pelinka probably thought he pulled coup by stealing him from the Clippers. In the end, he didn’t play well and ended up as trade filler.
Since you love numbers so much, take a look at his plus/minus and there’s your answer.
Trez had a plus/minus for last seasn of +0.6, which was 10th on the Lakers’ roster. He was 13th in player Defrtg and 11th in Offrtg. Like I said, a poor fit who can only play the five but can’t stretch the floor or protect the rim. One trick unicorn. Can get some points.
Undersized 5 at that. The league moved on from guys who play that way.
