I was telling people on this board that DFS looked slow and ineffective with the Lakers and I was nervous about the signing. Stone no doubt saw the same thing - the DFS signing only makes sense if you believed he was suffering on the Lakers from not getting a needed surgery and the surgery would help him be a better player eventually. So far it hasn't looked great at all but then again he IS barely two months back from an 8 month injury so I don't think it's absurd to think it's a little premature to call it a bad contract just yet. I mean, Steven Adams looked like a garbage when he first got here as well until he started to regain form post injury. I think it's fair to say, the ramp up from a 6+month injury is generally longer than you would like for just about any player recovering from that severity of injury.
