I could see him going to Phoenix or Orlando.
Interesting stuff. Can't sell fans on players like Peyton Watson to justify to massive hike in ticket prices.
It would take about 34-35 million for Houston to go over the 2nd apron. But, even then, they could dump a Capela, an Adams, or a DFS to duck...
Eason at 20 for sure, but he would also cost 35, and a higher probability of Houston matching.
Best option might be something like LaRavia + Knecht + Thiero + 26 1st + 31 1st + 33 1st for Murphey. And, then trade 2033 2nd + 2032 swap for Watson.
Okay, so the consensus here is basically the pass on him. Fair enough. I think we make a serious play for Watson.
If Kahwii's contract is voided, do Lakers give him all of their cap room? I mean, Luka, Kahwii, and Reaves is a damn good big 3.
Yeah, we might find out that Reaves is not proper fit with Luka, you never know. But assuming they do fit, we have a ton of potentt off season...
He does make 28 million though, and OKC wouldn't want any salaries in return. At that point, we would have only about 17-18 million to get a wing...
Giannis is a great player, no question about that. My concerns with that scenario (If Reaves is not traded). (1) You end up having to try and get...
No man, respectfully, you are trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Sabonis is heliocentric. If he was in the Luka role, he would be fine,...
That's a lot of hoops to jump through for a 45 million dollar big who doesn't fit. Now you are clogging the paint too, with two non-shooting bigs....
I wouldn't. I like his rebounding and screen setting, but the hub archetype is a bad fit with Luka.
Great points, but in this case, I prefer duplication. Having a lob-threat for either Luka or Reaves for 48 minutes per game. Ayton is a good...
Yeah you might be on to something. I was thinking we were going to trade for Bogdan Bogdanovic, and then we went and got Luka. I guess maybe I...
I think we have a fair shot. It's okay to talk about the off-season too, the thread covers both the 25-26 season, and off-season ideas, etc.
I hear you. Although Hayes and Ayton have verticality on the offensive end that could some what be compared to the Gafford/Lively combo, they...
IMO, the 5 position is the lowest priority of the three, because we could always revert to Hayes and Ayton for another season, assuming Ayton...
I like the Caruso idea. He is still a very productive role player. Btw, his numbers are similar to Keion Ellis for all the folks that are unsure...
Doable, but tough. We are talking approximately 72 million in salaries for 2 players, and we have 45.3 million in cap room. Leaves a 26.6 million...
