Then why not stay in Portland? Maybe he wanted the bigger market/better ability to attract attention?
Maybe, maybe not... could be more games being played to up someone else's offer or scare someone else into action.
Getting LMA is such a PITA. We have to get a C as well, which may mean disassembling our team through trades. Randle's minutes would diminish as well. DJ on the other hand is such an ideal fit. We get a cheap wing/guard and we're done.
Well his defensively inept brother got 20 mil But 13 mil for a guy thats not gonna have a HUGE impact in the game is making my head hurt I guess thats a price we'd have to pay if it pleases lamaecus but sometimes u gotta do what u gotta do
Could be.. Maybe prior to all this he got wind of Matthews leaving not to mention Batum being offed thereafter. Then there's the reigning NDPOTY Lillard.
We can clear roughly 8M dumping Young, Kelly, Sacre. With the 4 left over after LMA we'd be right in the ballpark to give Lopez 12. I think it's a bit crazy to do that when a better defender & rebounder is available for half or even 1/3 of that, but if it's what it takes to get LMA, pull the trigger.
Dump those three and a future pick to Blazers for Lopez. Go get a wing with the room exception. Let's ride.
These guys are just playing with us. These agents are using us to force teams to give in to these free agent demands. I'm not buying it until I see these dudes in a Laker uniform. Sick and tired of this up and down, back and forth non comittal crap.
I want both LMA + RoLo if for no other reason than I can't handle the group meltdown here if they go elsewhere.
I have my head pressed against the glass on my monitor trying to get what or who you're thinking about giving up for whom. Not coming through. Care to elaborate?
