Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

I honestly don’t get why y’all are freaking out we’re not hearing anything right now. Quiet is usually a good thing.

Think about it, Griffin is trying to fetch the best offers, what does he have to gain from accepting the Lakers offer RIGHT NOW when he can wait to get the offers he can up until a few days before the draft?

 

agreed n if leonard would come. you can still dump enough salary to fit the trade after leonard or a max agrees

 

maybe the clot n next yrs ext is scaring off pelly but then they take lavine instead? lol, makes little sense

 

This is a big reason why i would love to keep as many young guys as possible. Aside from their skill set of course

 

This is all very interesting, cause that trade scenario was mentioned a day or two ago from a Chicago beat writer too as well. I’ve also seen someone who seems to be resourceful mention it as well about a week or 2 ago.

 

If they keeping BI at least, then it’s a win for us regardless. And it will take more than #4, BI or Kuz to get Beal imo. Only because Beal still has 2 years left on his contract and is more controllable than AD.

 

#4, kuz and BI>>>>beal

 

The infatuation for Bradley Beal by some is mind bottling.

 

If we somehow keep BI, he's gone next year anyways, right? How much can he get?

 

Hi all,

Finally got some free time...

I asked around more about the Bulls deal. I couldn't get a confirmation on the quoted offer that seems to be circulating here. Just that the Bulls would get #4 + Lonzo and the Pelicans one of Ingram/Kuzma. Probably means either 1) deal is not yet in the final stages or 2) the information hasn't reached the guys I'm talking to (as of a couple hours ago).

I will say one thing. The fact that it's quiet on the media is either a great sign or a very poor one. All the leaks have most likely been coming from Griffin in an effort to up the ante on proposed deals. If he's stopped, that means he's finally getting serious about finalizing something. Or, it means that negotiations have stalled and someone will have to move from their current stance, like what you saw on Wed/Thurs until the Bulls for some reason conceded a bit.

Hope this helps. My fingers are crossed!

Best Regards,
Mr. Rambis

 

Agreed, but on the other side, I as much as I would love to keep the kids, AD will turn into my favorite Laker since Kobe the nanosecond hes ours lol.

 

If you keep Ingram and get AD, you are the winners in any scenario not involving LBJ.

 

I get your point but I miss the Lakers winning more than anything else

 

And you would be correct sir.

Salary cap for the 2020/21 season is projected to be @ 116m. Luxury tax threshold for the 2020/21 season is projected to be @ 141m. Bron (39.2), AD opt out and sign 30% max (34.8), 2nd season of 30% max player signed this summer (34.3m), BI eligible for 25% rookie max (29m), Deng dead money (5m) = 142.3m

Assuming BI gets a max deal, we sign a player to a multi-year max deal this summer and that we trade for AD and he opts out to sign a max deal next summer, we would already be paying taxes on just 4 players.

But we ain't Okc... We the Lakers... And I hear we're a f***ing "gold mine"... so the league can tax us the f*** away... At least with this Laker tax, we had a say in it.

 

Wow...I mean our packages seem to always hey leaked these days and then the narratives start to run wild...



But I wouldn't put it past Rob tbh.

After all, the Knight is darkest before the dawn.

 

I just don’t like that mofo JC. He and DlO were disappointing. I thought they would tear it up for the Lakers, but that’s just wishful history.

 

What's BI's max? Whatever it is, i cringe at the thought of paying him that much.

 

you think hed get max? id be ok with gordon type deal. 4/70, thats more than fair if he wants wiggins/booker/kat $ then we'll have to see what he looks like next season but right now i see Gordon type $
