    No, as of right now we don’t. We have like one roster spot and 900k to offer. So we can’t even like offer a minimum contract until the time where when given it would only pay out that 900k. I’m not sure if we are part of that thing where some teams can’t sign bought out players that made more than 14 mil either, don’t remember if that’s a first or second apron thing. We would have to clear salary and at least one spot to add multiple players.

    Klay would be a pretty good buyout candidate and Thybulle as well.

    If we can dump Knecht, we could get both.

    Luka / Smart
    Reaves / Klay
    Thybulle / LaRavia
    Lebron / Rui
    Ayton / Hayes

    what is this obsession with Thybulle he is not exactly healthy. He has only played 4 games and hasn't played since October, he also only played 15 games last season.

    Lakers getting Gianiss main piece for Golden to state to Milwaukee Kaminga shipped to Atlanta for Porzingis.

    there has to be a reason for Golden State to shift to Porzingis.

    Lakers have to be in drivers seat.

    This is clear as day Goodwin should be on this roster over Bronny it has nothing to do with Bronny. Goodwin is just a better basketball player than Bronny. Jerry West would never do that.

    I’m just talking business. Mickey Harrison and the Miami Heat are not prepared to give Gianiss 4 yrs. 127 million.

    I know for a fact Arod and Lorre aren’t prepared to give Gianiss 4 yrs. 127 million.

    I did think the Warriors did. But it fell through and Gianiss doesn’t want to go there.

    the Lakers are there.

    We don’t have to go crazy. All Gianiss has to say is wherever I’m traded I want guaranteed that I will get my full 4 yrs. 127 max. Watch how many teams drop out.

    Mark Walters doesn’t care about paying a luxury tax he has deep pockets.

    The Clippers aren’t stupid. They got off Harden to be all in for Gianiss. They wouldn’t guarantee Harden so he would tie them up for 2027. They want clean books when Gianiss becomes a free agent. Also Kawhi comes off the books.

    so they already have a co pilot in Garland who can score and compliment Gianiss in place. They’ll have cap space new arenas and L.A. new Arena and L.A..

    it always comes down to Clippers. That’s a Laker signing. But we get Giannis now. If not tomorrow then definitely in the off season. So buckle up and have fun. Ya

    They will hate ANYBODY we have if we move on from Rob. It isn't Rob in particular, it is the Lakers and the other teams jealousy of us. There is literally NOTHING we can do about it, now or ever. We could lose on purpose for 20 years and every time we luck into a great player, simply give that player away to our haters so that they will learn to like us.

    I hate seeing people complain about Rob being hated because there is nothing he can do about it. It's like Kobe said, he loved when people hated on him because he knew it was because he tore their hearts out. F'em. You guys who are getting down on Rob because the other teams GM hate him and directing your anger at the wrong culprit. It is never going to get easier for this team.

    Take a look at MLB and how much other teams hate Mark Walter our new owner for outspending and out performing them all for the last decade including 3 championships.

    Where are you getting that tiny MAX figure from with his years in the league. Wouldn't it be like double that per year now?
