Different situation though. Hayes fills an important need on a Luka team. He's a lob-catching big and is one of the few bright spots this season....
But you need to understand Hayes is Lukas Buddy on and off the court. Jaxon's cap hold is 6.5 million. He will get at least that. I mean around...
You definitely make a great point. Jax is in that Lively role. Kennard has made an impact and shown he fits well with Luka. The other players...
Ideal path would be to surround Luka and Reaves with an elite rim-protector/lob-catcher and two lock-down defenders who could also shoot at least...
I like Kennard but I come to terms with possibly letting him go. Yeah, the buy out route for Ayton would be preferable. Lakers could do the...
Lakers could ask Ayton to opt-out of his 8.1 million player option, and promose to pay him the full 9.4 million room-exception. Ayton gets a 1.3...
It's not just advanced analytics though. It's also some relatively basic stats. Defense This season, he is averaging 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks in...
Best Lakers/Mavs model plan (1) Trade Knecht + 23rd pick + 31 1st to New Orleans for Missi + 32 2nd Lakers dump Knecht's contract, and open up a...
I like Claxton more than Allen. He's much more bouncy. Fits that Gafford/Lively archetype much better imo. Vanderbilt + 26 1st + 31 1st + 33 2nd...
Oh wait, if it's that low, shouldn't it be 20.9 then? I thought the salary was times 190% only if they make less than league average?
So is this guy going to opt-out now?
Clark
Good information. I thought it was 20.9. So, it changes things a bit. Also,190% would make Keon's cap hold around 4.4 million, and Jaxon's around...
I think it could be possible, but it would take away leverage, because after getting Allen, we would no longer be able to threaten a large offer...
Okay this does make sense... Cavs Situation Teams are required to be under the 1st apron after the completion of a sign-and -trade in order for...
That guy is a great coach, isn't he?
Could make it so we just trade Knecht + 2031 for Allen + Ellis for trade #1 and the 2033 2nd for Merill for trade #2. Cavs would end up just...
Trade #1 Lakers get: Jarrett Allen, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, and Keon Ellis (Sign-and Trade starting at 22.9 million) Cavs get: Dalton Knecht, 2031...
I'm not going to assume that Reaves will ge less than the max, but it would be really helpful if he did. But I'm not going to count on that. I'm...
Franz to Milwaukee, Giannis to Lakers, Reaves to Orlando Yup. But, Orlando does have a bloated payroll. They would have to get off some of their...
