Dallas for Brunson and Powell?

 

Bron has been with him a lot this summer. I think they went on a couple vacations together. He was at Bron's for the Westbrook meeting. We have to keep him, i'd prefer as some sort of coach so he would still be in the locker room and on the practice court.

 

I have a feeling Schroder might have overplayed his hand. There’s been no rumors at all about any of the teams with cap space willing to pay him anywhere near $84 million/4 seasons.

Lonzo had more realistic expectations with the rumor that he’s going to sign a $80 mil/4 year deal with Chicago.

To me, what this means is Schroder will likely take a short term MLE level deal…. Or temper his expectations and work with the Lakers on a sign and trade where he makes $15 mil/season. The only problem with that is I don’t even know what team would want him at that price. Schroder would have to wait to see what happens with Dinwiddie before people start looking at him.

The only teams that are still looking for a starting point guard (assuming Lowry goes to Miami) would be NYK,Washington, Detroit, New Orleans, Dallas.

Of those teams, I think Detroit and the Knicks (only if they strike out everywhere else) might be the only possible destination for Schroder. It would be as originally stated, MLE money or a 1 year deal for $15-18 mil.

 

There was an ESPN panel pegging his value at 12 million a year during this FA period.

 

LOL

 

detroit has a young guard they want to play, so i wonder. ny has rose and that rookie they like, but that might be a fit.

dallas is the team to watch for, imo. they were interested in him back when he was drafted, and might have the right on-court fit for him.

plus, we could make a deal that gets us a role player or two if he goes there.

 

Now to the B/R rumor mill for the morning...

Latest on DD

If he wants a payday NY is his best bet

Dinwiddie now a target for NO because A) Lowry to MIA and B) Nets don't want Kuz and Trezz

That's a little much, I think

Tidbits...
The $ on Duncan Robinson's next deal
Rumored spots for Markkanen, Olynyk, Danny Green, Iggy, Millsap, Joseph, and Dieng.

Don't rule us out of the Iggy race just yet...

• Also glad to hear we were thinking about Mills with a minimum deal and not our MLE.

No to Iggy.

 

waiting for iggy to sign with gs and lacob to be like "the lakers wanted him, but we just represent a better organization. from rick barry to...well, steph curry...and...alton lister? i don't know. we're the best!"

 

Who do you guys think the Lakers will sign with our MLE?

 

getting dwight back would be very nice

 

Sign and trade Shroeder, Caruso, 2027 Lakers 1st, 2024 Wizards 2nd, 2028 Wizards 2nd to Minnesota for Beasley, Culver, and Layman.

 

any word on who's pursuing reggie jackson? i'd offer him 15 per before i offered schroder 20.

 

Clippers is making him their top priority after Kawhi, apparently. Forgot where I read that this morning.

 

that's sweet, but they only have early bird rights, so if someone showed up with something big, they'd be screwed.

now, he's apparently bffs with george, but they better be offering the max they can (4/45ish i think?) because if i were one of the teams losing out on the pg market, i'd come calling with a shorter deal with similar guaranteed money and really make him prove his loyalty.

anyway, everyone acts like we can't keep caruso and THT, but at least we won't be in a situation where we would have to lock them in a room or something.

 

How many warnings you need about getting on the wrong side of “Doom” here on LB?
