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...
I wouldn't put too much stock in Lonnie's shooting. That is an insult to Rozier, who has a body of work in terms of this elite shooting. Lonnie...
Rozier and Trent are players that I would try to get.
Lakers still need to ad one or two guards that are good three-point shooters. Rozier would be great.
This doesn't make much sense. I get the interest in Richardson, but the acquisition of Hachimura reduces the need for McDermott. Don't even get me...
I agree. Another thing, since we traded for a wing that we plan to sign to an extension, the Bojan trade might be less likely now. There is...
Good trade. He is a 6-8 wing. Lakers will have his bird rights after the season, and could match any offer. Hachimura is 40% from corner threes...
That would be nice. But, I'm not sure the Lakers want to go that much over the luxury tax. If they signed Reaves to a deal starting at 12m,...
Oubre is just salary fodder in some scenarios. I don't want him either. But if needed to make salaries work, then sure.
Sure, that would be ideal. I am just saying that is up to what I would be willing to pay.
Westbrook/Jones/2029 1st (top 4 protected) for Rozier/Hayward works. A three team trade also works: Lakers get: Rozier / Bogdanovic / Noel...
Lakers would be in good position if they end up with both Rozier and Bojan. Pros: Both are elite three-point shooters both in terms of accuracy...
The coach doesn't have a lot to work with, but he is not doing a good job. Hopefully the Lakers make transactions to improve the team. But they...
