    Scumbags. If they hadn't choked two games against the Heat, we'd be ending them in 5.

    Even Skip's colleagues don't like him. Just ask Troy Aikman.

    If the price is right, and he wants to ring chase, I'd be interested in Paul Millsap.

    Denver are contenders, though, so it depends whether he wants to bank on them winning in his timeline, or jump ship and win a ring with the King and AD.

    Yeah if we were going to sign anyone from Denver it should be Jerami Grant.

    millsap will make an interesting vet min type somewhere. could totally see him with the clippers. maybe bucks, back to utah, could see dallas having interest.

    I'm not a fan of undersized aging big men. Seems like a terrible fit, but I see your point from a skills perspective.

    For the little I watched that series, he looked pretty invisible. maybe I missed some highlights, but can't see him playing much of a role any longer.

    I’d be interested in Milsap for cheap if we don’t/can’t bring back Dwight or Morris.

    I do think Denver will try to bring him back or he goes to Clippers or the Heat. Bucks might take a shot as well.

    Of all the teams we've played in these playoffs, with all the amazing players, Jerami Grant was the one that really surprised me. I knew he was good, but he showed he wasn't afraid of the moment offensively or defensively, and earned my respect.

    I'd be thrilled if we could get him this off season, and he seems like one of the most realistic acquisitions we could make.

    Someone will pay Grant $12-14M. Sorry everyone, but he played his way out of our price range. And I’d much rather bring back Morris than get Milsap. If we make a deal with Kuz then maybe he would make some sense as a vet min. Otherwise, hard pass.

    If you can't beat him, you should join him. We'll make room this offseason

    I’d trade Danny Green for Grant in a heartbeat. How about we do a sign and trade so Denver actually gets something for Grant before he walks? He can exercise his player option if he wants to come to the Lakers

    denver's pretty well-managed. i'm guessing they'll pay grant slightly over market value and look to move on from harris (or barton). both of those guys make too much money for their production, especially in a small market like that. adding grant at a similar salary to them will really bloat things.

    i wonder if they'd give up a pick or two for someone to take on one of those two. i'd take either if morris was attached.

    harris has declined since he signed that contract, but he's only 26, and at his peak he was a solid starting sg who played both sides of the ball. i've never been a huge barton fan; doesn't really defend, inconsistent offensively.

    anyway, i'm sure we'll go big-game hunting first, and we're actually in a pretty good position.

    Thoughts if Bradley Beal fell into the hands of one of our rivals? Dallas? Denver? Step children in our basement?

    I read some ppl crunching numbers for a PG-for-Beal trade on reddit I think. Getting rid of PG's.... well, stink can actually help them out a bit.

    Can Luol Deng's contract be used as a filler in a trade?
