    Porter is the better player but he hasn't shown he can stay healthy. Really really like Gay here.

    Patty Mills and Gay would be great additions. Team is gonna be OLD though!

    Lowry will be a Heat. That deal is likely already done.

    Yeah this the reason why I wouldn't be ecstatic getting Porter for the exception. Feel like its a gamble on our best chance to get another asset.

    This is my current prediction/semi-realistic hope for how the roster shakes out

    Westbrook / Mills
    Ellington / Bradley / Horton-Tucker
    James / Gay / Matthews / McKinnie
    Davis / Anthony / Morris / Dudley
    Gasol / Howard

    Maybe with a big trade exception from a Schröder S&T as well

    So, you are trading Lebron?

    I wonder if they want Rudy for starting small forward, back up small forward, or back up power forward?

    no, i don't believe so. they're less flexible than having the player, and they expire, too.

    but where's the crowd right now?

    marc/dwight?/?
    AD/gay?/kieff?
    lebron/mckinnie/melo?
    caruso?/THT?
    westbrook/?/?

    i don't think we have a logjam anywhere, really. if gay and melo both come, there's not a lot of sf/pf minutes, though. but guard is pretty open.

    they'll never learn, even under new management.

    no idea why players won't go there, though. even with luka there now. it's nuts to me.

    They obviously don't care about the luxury tax.

    Luka will be a Laker before he's done playing. Maybe sooner than folks think!

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Heat got Lowery and Derozan

    And my impression is Cuban is probably a good owner to play for. Nothing too good for the team in perks. Is that wrong?

    Yes. But the Lakers are in win now mode, and they should be. You have to contend as long as you have Bron on your team. After that... who knows, right?
