    At this rate, we'll be left with old, washed up, has-beens (like Ariza, DJ etc.). Griffin seems like a typical Lakers signing now... will puke if that happens.

    Player option for Jones on the second year ... is that even possible on a minimum deal?

    Two-year deal doesn't mean Jones got part of the MLE...right?

    I'm not sure if it's possible to use the trade exception on a free agent (unless it would be a sign and trade, which would hard cap us)

    Think that can only be used in a trade.

    really like Damian Jones and he improved a lot last season, but if we used the MLE on him, we're toast.

    Don't think you can throw a player option on a vet min deal... hoping we split the TPMLE instead of giving all of it to Damian Jones. I like him but that would be a bad move

    If he's getting $4.5m that's not good.
