Dean Lombardi says the #LAKings were unsure if Quick would have his "A game" after a long injury absence. Hence the Bishop acquisition.
Stephen Whyno @SWhyno
Lombardi wanted 2nd goalie: "I think the days of playing Jon Quick 70 games like we did 70 years ago make no sense."
Stephen Whyno @SWhyno
Lombardi calls Ben Bishop the Kings' "top target and says, "This is not an insurance policy."
Said he hoped to make trade 2 wks ago, but logistically wasn't possible then
Josh Cooper @JoshuaCooper
Lombardi said the point is to have a No. 1 goalie in the net every night
