2019/20 Players' Transactions: Breaking News , Trades, Free Agents, And Rumors

SPLASH ALERT Smush Parker is now available in the #BIG3Season2
Smush is coming to play in BIG3 league.
Do we still have a roster spot for PG ? He would be excellent mentor for Lonzo

 

replace ennis, wouldnt lose much lol...isnt smush built like an offensive lineman now?

 

What a bargain. Kind of like what he signed with us. Guy must really love LA.

 

thats a good deal...would've gladly taken back Lou if we were in contention at that salary lvl

 

Probably true, but the way they did Blake that is a crazy team friendly deal that can be moved later, no doubt.



This actually tells me that dude didn't want to go into the open market this summer cause he and his agent anticipate that outside of the headliners (George & Bron), its going to a frigid climate for free agents.

I'm assuming this is going to make the Lakers pivot hard on Jules and if they have the possibility to retain him for cheap, they'll do it.
Imagine we trade JC for expirings and then we re-sign Randle so that he takes up JC's 12.5M cap spot. You then stretch Deng and you have $58M to spend on 2 max guys willing to sacrifice a few million off their true max (ie George 27M vs 30M, Bron 31M vs 35M).

 

I always thought the guy tried and was smart on defense even if not what you'd say was good, but he's an artist out there and is so smooth and all the fine moves he had scoring is easy for him. He can certainly do it for 3 more years. I really enjoyed having him. Guess Jerry thought so too. Agreed it's maybe a real nice hometown price.

 

Good. Let em play.

 

this deal sorta devalues clarkson a bit too...lou is so much better than jc offensively n he'll make nearly $3-4mill less 0er than jc

 

right. unless a star is coming today or tomorrow, i don't see the sense in making moves. clearing cap space just isn't that important and can be done at other times.

 

should look to buy cheap bigs that have potential like willy, i do not think we'll retain lopez under any circumstances. i know we have zu/bryant but they dont look like starters yet

 

It also makes him an option for a playoff team looking to add some scoring before the final push. With Lou out of the picture, he's the last good 6th man for scoring.

 

Tyreke Evan still available

 

JC is worth his contract. Lou is having a great year but he's a focus on that team and gets 10 more minutes per game than JC. Easier to get in a scoring groove with 33 mins as opposed to 23.

Their per 36:
Lou:
PTS 25.8 REB 2.8 ASST 5.9 STL 1.2 FG% .439
JC:
PTS 22.1 REB 4.6 ASST 5.0 STL 1.2 FG% .448


Lou is shooting the 3 better @ 38% but is also 32 before next season starts, this contract carries him until 34-35 years old. Clarkson is entering his prime.

While neither are great defenders, JC has the speed and greater size than Lou and can guard 2s if again not a great defender. JC goes to the hoop more. Jordan only has 2 years left on this deal and will be 27. His minutes per game have been dropped over the last seasons by nearly 9 but his per 36 shows he's improving in all areas. He gets streaky but he's improving and that's what you look for in a guy his age. He could start somewhere and put up good numbers. I don't think his contract is bad, it's correct. Same with Lou considering his age.
