    if it's mills, that's ridiculous.

    i like mills just fine, but he doesn't replace most of what AC brought. or any, really. he adds shot-making, which would have been nice. next to AC.

    We never had any intention on paying Alex close to 10 mil.

    I like Caruso as much as you, but let's not over rate him, let's see how he does without Lebron. He is a hard worker, plays good defense, erratic shooter at times, he is replaceable.

    I feel 9.25m a year is fair for Caruso, even a little more considering how crazy the contracts have been

    someone like Pat Bev who I think is a defensive guard as well and I rate much lower than Caruso is making over 14M this year

    Agreed. Gonna be interesting to see how Caruso does without Lebron. I suspect not as good as people think he will.

    Caruso loss is huge. I legit think he was our third best player last year.

    I think that’s the thing. Caruso’s contract looks fair so it’s tough to understand why we’d just let him walk. I gotta believe there’s a reason. If the dust settles and we are empty handed I’ll join everyone throwing rocks.

    He put up a great season for us, but lets not overrate him. He really didn't show up in the 6 playoff games that he played, which really put a sour taste in my mouth. Devin Jenner really took him to school

    36% fg / 29% 3pt / (+/-) -20

    Lakers thinking Bazemore can replace AC for a fraction of the cost.

    Again, AC was playing on an injured foot against the Suns. At least he went out there and played.
