I do not think the Lakers expect any kind of production from Lopez just needed to take a salary back to dump the Mozgov contract to go for the big free agents next summer.

Yea getting rid of Mozgov's horrible contract is great. He was wayyy over paid. Lopez is going to be an instant upgrade on both the offensive and defensive sides. He's a great shot blocker and can score. He should easily be able to put up 20 a night on the Lakers.

Which is great because 'any' production he brings, is an instant bonus.
