This. It makes total sense. Lakers could afford Turner for 21 and Hield for 20 or whatever next season, and still be able to sign Reaves and...
Russ/Jones/2027 1st (unprotected)/ 2029 1st (unprotected) for Van Vliet/Trent/Hernangomez/2027 2nd/2029 2nd is doable if their deals are not too...
I think the targets are Hield and Trent. Pincus also mentioned Rozier, so don't forget him. However he didn't mention current interest, but he...
I agree. His knee is a concern, but it is not like he relies solely on his athleticism. He has quietly become one of the best three-point shooters...
:Laugh:
Could end up having some sort of deal like Russ + Jones + 2027 1st (unprotected) + maximum cash available for Hield + Theiss + 2028 Pacers 2nd....
We can, but I would say that it is highly unlikely, because they would be too expensive. Van Vliet's max is around 40 m and Trent 33.5 m. They...
Well, if we really want to buy high on a player that is having a stellar season, Hield might be our best option. He just turned 30 years old, and...
Walker cant. Unfortunately, we don't have his bird-rights either. Russ has a huge cap hold. I agree about trading Bev and Jones. OG trade probably...
So the guy has a good half year and you consider him an established three-point shooter? Okay.
Basically, we could afford up to 33.5 million of players, and at the same time have the MLE and BAE.

Even if Trent got the max (he likely will not), our payroll would sill be somewhat under control. Here is a scenario for 23-24: James 46.9...
I would prefer not to, but I'm just laying out a scenario where a trade for Bojan would make sense.
Lakers pivot move: 1. Rui to Milwaukee for Grayson Allen 2. Beverly and Jones to Detroit for Bojan and 2029 top 4 protected 1st round pick...
I hear you. It seems Trent kind of makes the most sense. He could shoot and he is young. Looking at similar player, it seems he would be poised...
Trades that I could see happening: -Beverly, Jones and 2027 1st (unprotected) for Trent -Beverly, Jones, JTA, and 2027 1st (unprotected) for...
Don't let Dennis's stellar play of late fool you, and don't let Dennis's bad play of late fool you either. Both are likely outliers. Dennis is...
Not just better D. Trent is a much more established three-point shooter than Lonnie.
I remember that too. I'm not saying he is the perfect player. If he was perfect, why would Charlotte want to trade him? He could of just had...
