I believe that's a vet minimum contract, which means we still have cap space for one more signing.
If Cousins gets anywhere close to his pre-injury form, this signing alone will almost make up for not getting Kawhi. Combined with the excellent...
I lean this way as well. It was always the Clippers for Kawhi, and that's shown in not just the shoes that he had ready to go, but also in how...
I've been reflecting on what happened, and I think I have a way of making sense of the timeline of the leaks ultimately resulting in Kawhi signing...
I have a simple explanation for why Kawhi's decision is taking so long: his camp is split between the Lakers and Raptors. I think most of (if not...
Cap space is not a factor if a trade puts you over the cap. The 125% plus 100k rule kicks in if a trade causes you to go over the cap or remain...
It doesn' matter if you are under the cap before a trade. All that matters is if you end up over the cap after the trade is complete. If that...
JJ needs to be included for the trade to be legal. Since the AD trade puts us over the cap, we cannot absorb any salary into what little cap space...
What ever happened to hiring Ron Adams? The latest article I can find on the topic talks about Kerr being confident he stays in Golden State. He'd...
Actually I'm fairly sure JJ must be included in the deal. When making a trade, you can only absorb players into cap space if you don't end up over...
I've tried so hard to not let myself believe we'd get Kawhi so I wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't happened... but after the expanded trade to...
Hopefully he stays with the team longer than one year. Our most recent rookies didn't last very long if Bonga and Wagner both get traded away in...
I would love Beverly but it sounds like he'll be too expensive even if the Lakers don't sign a max player. Given LeBron often initiates the...
I can't remember when I joined CL, but it was when Kareem Rush was still on the team as you can tell by my username so probably around 2004. By...
We did try to offer Randle to the Spurs and they rejected it. There was a report last weekend saying that Monday was the deadline for the Spurs...
No, this is a leverage play by the Spurs. We should not trade Ingram or Kuzma for Kawhi when his health is in question. Also, Philly would only...
The Spurs have made it clear they still value Kawhi as if he's fresh off an MVP caliber season, when in reality they have a former superstar...
At this point the Lakers need to disengage in trade talks and focus on developing their young guys (Ball, Ingram, Kuzma, Zubac, Wagner, Hart). We...
I think it's his health. Kawhi's strange and lingering injury is just too much of an unknown to risk assets in a trade. He may never return to his...
Actually I think it's the opposite. I believe Chandler is viewed as a salary dump by Denver which means Philly likely acquires a pick in this...
