i wonder how we'll approach it. will we offer 4/32 and ask him to come back to us if he gets a bigger offer? or will we just offer over MLE to be sure that only a very ambitious offer even gets heard?
With what we gave Kuz and KCP though 8M a year (4 under Kuz and even more under KCP) is an insult to begin with. Gotta be in that range I would think. All around game and strengths including basketball IQ more valuable than either of those guys? And KCP and Kuz hard to say who is more valuable. Lean toward KCP but Kuz has size on him and has finally become a decent defender.
i agree that AC is probably worth our 3/40 special. maybe that will be the offer. it's expensive short-term for us, though. might necessitate moving kuz for lower salary.
Don't quote me on this, but for some reason I have a tidbit stuck in my head that we can't offer him more than 4 years. I could be mixing up some CBA particulars, but I think we can only offer him 4. Something to do with that designated player restriction to where only one player who is still on their rookie deal with their original team can get 5 years.
Seems super minor and quite frankly ridiculous that we are still arresting people for marijuana possession in this country.
The availability and access to weed is so widespread in California I forgot that there are states where it's illegal lol.
Sucks for Caruso but he's going to lose a lot of money for his next contract. Lakers can use this as leverage in negotiations to re-sign him for a fairly reasonable amount
AC street cred will go up. The embarrassing part is his Alma Mater busted him. What kind of douche bag rent a cop piece of crap would do that to a famous alumni? Its weed
