I think 15-20m is reasonable for him. A few years ago, he offered to take a significant pay cut to sign very specific players with the full MLE....
Yeah, it would be ideal to get something for that. The Knicks might actually want a 1st or two from us, because the only have the 2026 (after...
Okay, so cap room probably the best option. I'm still on board with negotiating a sign and trade for Watson at the beginning of free agency. But...
Interesting, if Lakers really want to keep the existing players, and Lebron costs 25 million, the better option might be operating over the cap,...
I see what you are saying. Kind of like, we could sign Rui and Kennard at discounts compared to what they could get in the open market. Yeah, that...
Lebron was sort of frustrating at that time. It felt like there was potentially some sort of crisis of alpha status between he and Luka. But when...
Agree that there is definitely a lot of wishing and hoping. It's just human nature for people to under-estimate things. Im trying to be...
I agree about Smart. Dort is just one of maybe a few possible options. Yeah, they might be a bit stubborn about trading us Dort, but there might...
Everything is pre-mature at this point but, the challenging thing is, right now Lakers coming off a playoff win without Luka/ Reaves. Kennard was...
Watson @ 30-million is the best option from a high upside, immediate week-side rim-protection help, and size standpoint, while a combination of...
Great points, regarding needing defensive perimeter depth, due to injury concerns. This idea lines up with sk2408's plan to get multiple perimeter...
Lakers likely wouldn't have known Smart was going to be available. If they did know, the correct move would have been to not sign LaRavia. But,...
I like how you got rid of virtually every single one-dimmensional offensive or defensive perimeter player in this scenario. Too much falling in...
I know this is not the be all end all, but the 2024 Luka Finals Mavs had 1 very good POA defender in Jones, 1 very good wing defender in...
Fair enough. I could get on board with that. Maybe even bring in a Robert Williams with the vet minimum. Thiero is also gonna be a damn good...
Yeah, I know it was ment for that other guy. Basically just me venting about how people like that guy and many others sometimes are so definitive...
Sorry it was more frustration with how people are generally one extreme or the other about stuff, so I was replying to the "definitive" comment...
I'm not trying to be the damn politeness police, but many who post messages on this board seem to talk that way.
I get it. You are essentially trying to bypass the need for a rim-protecting big, by maximizing our defense on the perimeter. I was trying to do...
I feel like either Paolo or Franz would be a good fit in Milwaukee.
