Yeah, so was i. Between the statistics of him playing with Luka, and the talk of possibly finishing with Cleveland, I thought he was very likely...
Yeah, those are great points. Seeing his own son in the same situation as the Rui's and the Knecht's of the world. It's another element that is...
To my understanding, the Warriors and Cavs will only have the 6 million or so tax payer MLE, unless they do some significant cap gymnastics. So...
Yeah, I agree that those were all factors. But when he was out, he probably was able to do a lot of self-assessing. The self-assessing likely...
Yeah, for a while there Lebron looked like he wouldn't be able to co-exist with Luka. Made many people feel like the Lakers had to chose between...
I know it could be hard to fathom how the guy is still this good at 41-years old, but 16-million for this version of Lebron on this team is...
Duncan (10.3m in 12-13) and Dirk (7.9m in 14-15) did take less money at the end there, and it's a good example for Lebron. However, Duncan's...
The team we have currently assembled is pretty solid, but we could still make some marginal moves or a big move. POA defender Marcus Smart has...
I actually do expect Thiero to take a big leap. He will very likely be in the rotation. But we still do need to adress our depth though.
I really feel like to fit Watson, Smart, and Kennard, Lebron would ultimately be willing to take around tax-payer MLE level money (around 6-8...
It would be ideal to get a useful player for our trash and picks, but we can't count on that. Ironically, Myles Turner could be a candidate for...
I'm thinking he will take less than 25m, but Lakers should give the man respect and keep him in the loop about it. They may be coordinating...
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...
