    Sign and Trade Randle+Deng for a 1 year Max Boogie? Could we do that?

    I'm not sure New Orleans can do that. They'd be hardcapped at the luxury tax level so finances could be dicey.

    The Foolius news alongg with Rondo has to be a Boogie precursor.

    We have roughly 7.2m in cap now. Dump Deng gives us 25.2m....stretching him gives us 17.8m.

    However, with Boogie on the books next summer, that would leak into Kawhi's max. So either they're willing to shed off the top to be lay with each other next summer OR a Kawhi trade is coming.

    How does this make sense? With Rondo at 9 million, aren’t we essentially still out of cap. Renouncing Randle’s 12 million only nets is an extra $3 million

    Marc Spears on Cousins on SC just now. Lakers only have 4/5 mil, we’d have to stretch Deng to get to even 15. Speaking to someone close to Cousins, Lakers not likely.

    Room exception seems very low for him.

    If we moved Deng off the books, we're probably back in the conversation.

    I would think if they still plan on meeting with Cuz that there's a plan lol....I'm just hoping for the best, all these 4 signings so dont fit pace/space, well at least not the space part

    Everyone with the exception of kcp and LeBron are rounding out to be a deep (thuggish) bench mob. So it's good for the depth chart of our team. I still have hope

    he's young and looks to be progressing fine

    if you have the chance to get one of the best big men in the game, you don't pass it up

    If Rob can unload Deng for just draft picks, he seriously would be a God in LA.

    Kobe came back from an ACL injury at 37. Boogie is 27, he’ll be fine.
