    My theory is Rob had to sign these three Clutch guys because we have three Clutch guys that could be potentially be sent out in trade (AD, THT and Nunn).

    That makes sense to me.
    You could be right.

    I don’t really think of Luka as a PG, but as a Point Forward. Semantics I guess.

    He’s in the same category as Magic- big enough to be a forward, but runs the show like a Point Guard.

    We will see. Some variation of a trade involving us getting Irving and Harris makes a lot of sense. Depends on what Brooklyn wants. They could take back Westbrook and picks, Westbrook and Nunn, Westbrook and THT, etc. The dream scenario would be AD/THT/Nunn for KD/ Kyrie/ Harris, but it is highly unlikely. When thinking about it, signing four non shooters, with three of them being Clutch clients makes a lot of sense after such a trade:

    PF-Durant/ Anthony?/ Gabrial
    SF-James/ JTA/ Johnson
    C-Jones/ Bryant
    PG-Irving/ Reeves
    SG-Harris/ Walker/ Jones

    I'd take a shot at TJ Warren.

    Couldn't hurt. Fills the position and can grab some shooting if he's healthy.

    I don’t think Durant is a possibility.
    I thought he said it was either Suns or Heat? Maybe just smokescreen? Who knows, until it all goes down.

    Besides the major financial impact this has on him.

    Bridges may have ruined his entire life with his incident, he may actually face some jail time.

    … having said that, would you guys be morally ok with signing him for the vet minimum?

    He may not even play for the team depending on legal issues, the optics would be terrible for what he’s done….. but he’s such a nice 3 and D player.

    In first place there's NO likely scenario where an employee of AEG has any information as to what is going on hour to hour in the Lakers free agency "war room". Why would he? It makes as much sense as this guy used to:

    [​IMG]

    The story is he allegedly is in the marketing area for them and would more appropriately be involved once new players of any note or "stars" are brought in. And certainly NO access to Lakers inner workings after this person has gained notoriety on other forums such as Reddit. And with gifs out there such as this below from our resident pro gif artiste..... maybe even hunted down like a spy and fired? :giggle: :eek:

    I read that the Heat might be saving their mini MLE for him, it’s just taking time because of Durant or something.

    Since Bryant wants more than the min, let's go with Boogie. Get Kyrie and Harris. Then if we unload more players in the Kyrie deal, sign Josh Jackson.
