Player option on the final year of Kessler lol.. Another Rob specialty
I have questions about Duren's game, honestly. I get that he's young but it's a bit strange he's only playing 28 minutes per game for his career....
I was suggesting trading Ayton + Knecht + Vando for Kuzma + Ware + Jaime and going after Peyton Watson instead. Jaime + Watson at the wing would...
Lakers have $23m in cap space and a room ML ($9.4 million)
What's the alternative though? You give Walker an offer, wait a week for Jazz to decide, your salary space gets locked up so you can't make moves,...
You guys gotta take into account Lakers had to overpay a bit to keep Walker off the offer sheet. They knew Jazz wouldn't be able to match and they...
32.5 average value is solid. In 2-3 years, he'll look underpaid. Don't like seeing the 1sts go. Mitchell Robinson just went for $16 million so...
Mitchell was paid $16 million per season. I'm fine with Kessler getting what he got tbh. Tough market for center talent and the Lakers got the...
No more draft compensation. I think Lakers do not have any tradeable 1sts or 2nds right now. They gotta find a way to move out of Vando... Unless...
Well there you go!
It's a huge problem. Rob doesn't know how to negotiate so he gave everyone a player option when he didn't have to. Then every year, they come...
I wonder if this played a role in LeBron leaving. He probably saw that all these pieces were going to be let go and didn't like the plan. Luka is...
So at this point, it's quite obvious Lakers are just letting them walk (Kennard+Smart) because none of this makes sense.
A big problem for the Lakers is if they offer Duren or Walker an offer sheet, their cap is tied up until July 8th the earliest. So they can't use...
Luka and Reaves fully healthy? IDK, I'm giving them a 30-35% chance. I think Smart just gassed out because he had to take such a huge load...
I'm hoping for Kessler, John Collins, Sandro, and Grimes. Find some trade for Ayton + Vando with a first round pick for another rotation player....
Gotta let it play out. My guess is with the Lakers not making moves yet, they're just waiting on confirmation from Duren and Walker with Walker...
This was always going to happen if LeBron left, sadly. Just not enough salary cap to cover his absence. And with everyone else wanting more money...
That's your opinion of it. My opinion is the front office gets paid to make sure moves are made in the best interest of the team with a clear plan...
Idk what you're referring to. Lakers could have signed Caruso as well as THT. They prioritized THT and didn't offer Caruso a deal because they...
