Palmer reported his thoughts on the deal.

Timofey Mozgov is perfect for Luke Walton‘s uptempo small ball lineups. Said no one ever.

Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com reported her thoughts on the move.

To put even more perspective on Lakers choice on Mozgov. Been told door was open on Pau’s side for a return.

Mozgov fills a need for the Lakers that has been a sore spot for the club since Dwight Howard left the franchise. Jordan Hill and Roy Hibbert tried to fill the void but they were unable to provide the presence in the middle the Lakers needed.
