    A year of hearing “Nunn is expected to return soon” traumatized Lakers fans, but a healthy Joe Harris is a fantastic pickup.

    Still not sure he’s healthy though.

    Agreed. We have to do our homework and see if he’s truly healed.

    ya, you aren't getting in assets for Irving outside of RW/Dunn/THT and possible #1 picks when the Lakers are the only team willing to take him....

    So, time to face some realization and save the cap space/cash

    All true, but he just had reconstrctive ligament surgery.

    And this his is second ankle surgery on that same ankle.

    I'm not a medical physician, but for a guy who wasn't already a great athlete and had to be "hidden" on defense doesn't get my hopes up.

    It's definitely the 36 million dollar question that has to be answered here.

    It's more than that when you consider the type of deal we might possibly be doing and luxury tax.

    This penny pinching strikes me. We are ok with having 3 max players but then don't want to pay taxes lol

    Plus, on the business side, it's quite important we are not the mockery of the league another year. We'll lose LeBron for nothing later this year or in the next couple of years so our next star will come from FA. I would rather invest now and build a team to contend so that we can snatch a star for the next 5 years than penny pinching and be back to mediocrity with AD and scrubs, as no superstar will come if we are not contending

    I'm wondering if the Spurs have interest in Reaves?

    He fits their style almost perfectly. I'm wondering they ask for him or if he's included.

    Kyrie seems to be pretty popular around the league as well, Harden is the only star I can think of that doesn't like him.
    Maybe, they have a glut of young guards though even without Murray. They'll want to give Vassel, Primo, Jones, Branham and Wesley minutes to see if any of them are core pieces and Richardson also played well enough last year to earn some minutes.

    Jovan Buha on the Athletic pod: “You have seven guys who were in the [Lakers] rotation last season who are currently not signed on NBA rosters.”

    I'm just throwing it out there.

    This BK/SAS/Lakers deal can make sense on the surface.

    Hope something materializes

    " You have seven guys who were in the [Lakers] rotation last season who are currently not signed on NBA rosters.”
    And...
    The MLE signing never played a single game. Lebron and AD played in 21 games together. Rough one

    Yeah. Last season was just a failure on every level.

    He'll get bought out most likely.

    Let's see if the Spurs are willing to play ball.
