After big man DeMarcus Cousins suffered a torn ACL in August, the Los Angeles Lakers had a rather glaring void. The team desperately needed another center to come off the pine.
Later that same month, the Lakers made what many folks deemed a bold, and, better yet, desperate move. The 16-time world champions signed a guy that some fans wanted no part of.
This particular player previously played for Los Angeles during the 2012-13 campaign. Suffice to say, because the Lakers did not go far that year, that it itself made many fans salty.
