Mitch Kupchak Knew his Days were Limited

After Jeanie Buss cleaned house in the Lakers front office mafia style, Colin Cowherd thinks one of her unlucky victims in GM Mitch Kupchak had it coming after recent off-seasons of useless signings.

Cowherd thinks the Luol Deng (four years, $72), and Timofey Mozgoz (four-year, $64 million) moves were two of the worst free agent signings of the decade and ultimately were enough to become the posterboys for Kupchak’s evisceration.

The 12-year veteran Deng is having the worst season of his career by a longshot, averaging just 7.8 points on 38.9% shooting. The 30-year-old lead-footed center Mozgov is only averaging 14.3 minutes in February, and most believe the only rhyme or reason for his massive $64 million payout was only because of his 2015 Finals performance when then-Cavs coach David Blatt went big against the Warriors and allowed Mozgov to average 14 points for the series, including a 28-point performance in Game 4.

Although Kupchak was a competent drafter, Cowherd said his taciturn demeanor was enough to alienate free agents upon their in-person visits.
