Of course there's a huge amount of chips to fall this offseason. All we could do is speculate the best we can. I tend to be more on the worst case...
I have Lakers salaries (with Dort) as follows: Luka 49.8 million Reaves 26.5 cap hold Vando 12.43 Ayton 8.1 LaRavia 6.0 Smart 5.39 Knecht 4.2...
Houston's financial situation is a lot better than Denver's. Need to be able to threaten them with an offer sheet in order to help create leverage...
B But we ant afford Eason without stretching players.
Point taken on the stretch provision. Maybe that's the break glass option. I hear you on only getting 2 starters as opposed to two. I'm fine...
Well it kind of limits us on what we could spend. For example, if we get Dort + 18th pick on draft night, it leaves us with about 16.6 million to...
Yeah, me too. That was like 7.6 million per year for 5 to 7 years, I think. But, that was a much higher percentage of what the cap was back then,...
Yeah, something of that sort. Using the 1st-round pick(s) for a big, and waive and stretch + cap room + future draft capital to fill the two open...
I suppose Dort is worth the 2031 1st in a vacuum. Although there are a lot of fans on here that would disagree. He's kind of polarizing. But at...
If Lakers trade for Dort + #12, they would have only about 15 million left in cap room. If Vando is waived and stretched, it would give us about...
Vando might end up getting waived and stretched, and Knecht just waived. Lakers would pay Vando around 5.4 million per year for 5 years, instead...
This season, one of our biggest problems is we have three heavy minutes players who's best defensive position is power forward, and two of them,...
Yeah I'm thinking something like the 2031 1st + 2032 swap for Dort + #12, and draft Mara. OKC doesn't have the roster spots, and they are facing...
Okay, I see what you are saying. Maybe you want to get Krivas for perceived asset value? Morez has got more publicity than Cyril, Bidunga, and...
I would put Mara, Cyril, Thiam, and Bedunga over Krivas, for what our needs our. We need a lob catcher and shot blocker. Now, Krivas could walk...
The draft might end up being loaded with bigs that fit the profile we need. Cyril is a dunking and shot blocking machine. Same with Thiam. Same...
Mara gets 4.6 blocks per 40 minutes, compared to Krivas 2.9 blocks per 40 minutes. Also, Mara shoots 67% from the field, compared to Krivas 59%...
I get we are in win-now, but the draft could be every bit utilized as a tool, just like trades and free agency. I mean, sometimes rookies do hit....
Yeah much better center options available in the draft vs. free agency or trade, for what we need. Better to use free agency and/or trades for...
I'm glad you brought up these players. I started watching tape on them. Mara and Bidenga seem like good targets. Mara is 7-3 255 and barley needs...
