    Who do we waive to make room for Robin? I know he brings some added size, but is he worth replacing someone currently on the roster?

    Bitcoin will eventually get to 1 million. It's inevitable. Crypto isn't going anywhere.

    Irwin on his pod today said they're still making calls seeing who's out there, who might be out there. They haven't ruled out making another move. If. If they cut anyone loose, the early sourced option for that he's heard is Cam just because of his contract. Maybe, if they're willing to pay future money, maybe it's Hayes but he's been playing well as of late.

    Unless an unexpected lock down wing shakes free, I'm one million percent out on that. Cam is our best and only POA defender on the roster with Vando out and Vincent iffy. You can't lose him unless a starting caliber lock down wing defender is cut.

    Cam is our best wing defender outside of Vando. It would be insane to cut him.

    I honestly can't believe how underrated Cam is around Lakers fandom: he was incredibly good as a POA defender. He's been significantly better than Max, Rui, Wood, Hayes etc when he's been healthy

    Yeah. I’m not cutting Cam.

    Maybe we cut Lewis.

    Now that we have Dinwiddie, Mays seems most likely to be the odd man out, but since Ham and Rob both love guards…

    Mays is in a two way, so he doesn’t count for the 15 player max roster.

    Two way deal so it doesn't really matter what we do with him, although I'd like to keep him content in hopes of getting him to stick on as a 3rd string PG this summer.

    26-27 is a PO

    Why would the Lakers want Lopez when Hayes has been terrific lately. They are the same archetype of player and Robin has barely been able to get playing time the last few years. Unless they have some data to suggest he's very good job against Jokic that's a hard pass for me.

    Daniel House is the only interesting buyout as he's another 3 and D type, however Cam is much better then him. He would be more Vando insurance if he's out for the year.

    I've been trying to convince Rob to nab him for a few years now. But that's in addition to and not instead of.

    Ideally we could've gotten a taker for Gabe and then we'd have an extra roster spot right now. Buha said our most shopped package was Gabe, JHS + 2nds (2 for 1 would've opened a roster spot). No takers and that's where the JHS fubar hurts. Not only are we willing to give up on the experience for DFS or similar, the teams don't want him. If we were attaching Podz or Cam, you get a taker. Maybe they don't get the reps with the adult team either but Cam has done his thing in the D-League as well.


    If we had the spot, I probably go House or Morris. Defense or some front court grit and physicality. He'll pop Joker in the mouth (especially after what he did to Kief) and we don't have that kind of player.

    As was expected

    Lowry was bought out by the Hornets on Saturday and will join the 76ers once he clears waivers, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

    Good- I don’t ever want another former Heat Guard.
