    This has been a solid backup plan by Rob. Signing players that actually compliment AD & Bron (good perimeter shooters), not some meme team put together.

    Great signing with Cook at $3M per.

    I'd have to double check Bob's numbers here, but 5.5m doesn't leave us a lot to offer Morris or Bradley. It might be one or the other with those two, I'd prefer Bradley given our lack of depth at the guard spots.

    I'll be completely honest. Kawhi will be a problem for the foreseeable future. He's a legit 2-way superstar and a proven alpha in the playoffs.

    PG though? He doesn't worry me one bit. He's always been and continue to be Lebron's b****.

    They have no answer for AD and we'll crush them. They'll get what they deserve. f***ing c***s.

    I definitely think people are underestimating what Davis is going to do for us. Sure, the Clippers have a lot of perimeter defenders to bug LeBron, but uh... we also have Davis down low. Is Montrezl Harrell guarding Davis?

    No. 2 and his people seemed to have asked to delay the AD trade according to Ramona, until he made up his mind the guy was using us all along lol hopefully karmic forces won't affect his problematic knees

    Davis is almost unguardable, my only concern between our stars and theirs is health.
    If our guys stay healthy enough to play a good amount of RS games, and they arrive with a good body into the playoffs , I've got few doubts we're gonna smash the Clips and bring back the trophy.

    True health will be something to watch. I'm glad we brought Judy back for that.

    I don't think we have that much left. I think we're at 5ish million now after the Cook signing.

    I think Pincus was doing the math on this and just picked it up on Twitter

    Yeah, great signing, and we're gonna be very careful with load management with them, I want 'em to be freshly fresh when it matters!
    Also, playing alongside LBJ will relieve AD from carrying the load of an entire squad.

    So he was using tricky math to get the Lakers up to 14m which would mean after Cook we're down in the 11m range, but I don't want to count on that when we're budgeting right now. Plus, those bonuses are assuming players are willing to take a contract built like that, they don't have to.

    I think it's still quite possible to get both. Markieff took 2 years 7.4 million with Detroit. I assume Marcus would look for a similar amount. We can then offer room exception for Bradley.

    Would be very nice to grab both and Cousins.

    One of them is coming of his best season. The other had his worst season in more than a decade and isn't getting any younger. I wouldn't bet in favor of LeBron in that matchup.

    I think we used the Room Exception already on McGee. If Marcus is amiable to 3.6m first year salary, that means we'd need to get Bradley at basically the minimum and he's definitely going to get better offers than that.
