Luol Deng and Timofey Mozgov were the Lakers’ big free agent signings last summer. They’re also on the inactive list tonight vs Sixers

Bill Oram of the Orange County Register added his thoughts about the situation.
Maybe the Browns would like Timofey Mozgov or Luol Deng.

Deng was brought in last summer in an effort to beef up the Lakers roster along with champion center Mozgov. Los Angeles currently has the second worst record in the league and neither player has performed to the standards expected with the money shelled out to both of them.
Brandon Ingram and Ivica Zubac will get increased playing time with the move. As more information surfaces on the Lakers we will keep you up to date.
