    Cuz has changed and he's only as toxic as his environment. I mean, players clearly gravitate to him. He's got a good repertoire with fellow stars as seen with the Rio Olympics and he just got a standing ovation in Sac from the fans. Just give him a great environment/culture and he'll thrive.

    I do love Brookie, but I would send him out sooo fast for Boogie. Brook/Randle (or Clarkson), future 1st for Boogie at the deadline. You gain Boogie's bird rights via trade, giving Rob some added leverage in cap maneuvering by adding 2 more stars with a re-upped Cuz as the end game.

    I don't think there's a way to get all three here unless they all take pay cuts.

    If we found a way to lose all our top contracts in KCP, Lopez, Brewer, Randle, and Clarkson we'd have: Lonzo, Ingram, Nance, Kuzma, Hart, Zubac, and Bryant at 21.9 million. After cap holds that comes out to 25.4 million. The cap will be at 101 million leaving us only 75.6 million to spend.

    LeBron max- 34
    Boogie max- 29
    George- 29
    Total- 92 million

    Cousins and George would probably have to take significant pay cuts to get here, something like 9 million each would work. You'd still have then the 4 million room exception to play with at that point to fill out with probably Dwyane Wade, but we'd really need a backup PG.

    Lonzo/Wade
    George/Hart
    Ingram/Kuzma
    LeBron/Nance
    Cousins/Zubac/Bryant

    Is it possible to sign those three to 1 and 1 deals to then go over the cap and pay them the following season?
    I'm pretty sure we went over this over summer but I forget.

    Yes it is. We'd need to go that way for 2-3 years though in order to get Bird Rights.

    So the Suns have a guy who wants out and in return they want a really good young player, with 2 or fewer years on his deal, and they want to dump a big contract.

    That seems highly unlikely.

    Poor Guy was drafted into the wrong fit. I believe DLO thought he would be with the Sixers with that red jacket he was wearing and that Oak would be a Laker.

    Cousins would be a solid here IMO. Hes always been around losing and constant change. Lavar would be the dad he never had, the lil bro he never had in Lonzo and Magic plays the uncle who keeps him humble and grounded ;)

    Only way we pull the trigger or try to go all out by the dead line is IF we think theres no chance in hell we get both George and Lebron.

    We could sign Lebron/PG/Cousins this offseason and Luke would still sit them for Ennis/Brewer in the 4th quarter because fklukewalton
