I don't think 12 mill is bad for KCP at all but it ain't great for us. But he is Bron and Rich Paul's boy and we do need some defense. I hope he picks it up in that regard, wasn't exactly striking the fear into teams that we were expecting defensively. I wonder where this puts us as far as the ability to trade for Kawhi We will be over the cap. The way I see it we have to stretch Deng and then give up Ingram which would clear around 13 mil up. 15 mil if they include Kuzma. We are sitting at about 84 with Bron and KCP if HoopsHyope is right. That would do it. The 12 mil makes more sense now.
LeBron is a hell of a friend to these guys. He got all those Cavs all that money and now has gotten Pope 30 million over the last two years.
Some players don’t even get 30 over their entire careers. With the Lakers showing so much respect to Klutch, and Mintz losing credibility with, we just set up a solid relationship for future Klutch agents...Bronny 2024.
I don't understand some of you guys. He played very well for us except during that period when he was in jail (LOL). But seriously, you got a 3&D guy on a 1-year contract, and that guy just helped us land frickin' LeBron James. Are you kidding me? Trust Magic&Rob.
Ariza would not be better he's 33 and ain't getting any quicker. KCP turned 25 a few months ago ffs and is cheaper - stats are similar: KCP 13.4/5.2/2.2 .383(3s) 1.4 steals 33mins 10.8 attempts ARZ 11.7/4.4/1.6 .368(3s) 1.5 steals 33.9 mins 9.7 attempts KCP was fine, Mag and Rob think so and aren't dumb. Also Lebron's bro so that's a + Be interesting what we do with him next summer as we need 1 more year for his bird rights. We will be way over cap. Maybe he takes an exception.
