Disabled Player Exception: Your Target

Is Michael Jordan available?

 

Would Ray Allen sign with us if we overpay him? Seems like he values a check over winning or he'd be on a roster already.

 

Any word if we're going to apply for the DPE for Randle's injury or are they hoping he makes it back at the end of the season to play?

If so, I wonder if Jermaine O'neal is still available to give it a run. Wouldn't hurt having a serviceable C to slide Hill back down to PF, keeping Sacre and Boozer off the floor.

 

We need to use it to get rid of a player or two, to a team that wants some depth while taking on a semi bad contract year player for some assets.

 

The DPE can't be combined with a player to "get rid of."

 

What's the beef between those two? I know Kobe had an insane block years ago that everyone now jokes about, saying it's the reason Allen became solely a jump shooter. I don't think that's enough to warrant any sort of hatred though.

 

And that's when Ray Allen became strictly a jump shooter.

 

Is Beasely still available? I'm sure he'd prove a lot more productive than Wes would... Throw the min at him.

 

Don't you think that's kind of reversed? If all he wanted was a check he'd be on a roster collecting one already, he's waiting to see who's likely to be competing and latching on to the favorite to win

Either way I don't want that sneery chode anywhere near a Lakers jersey

 

Sorry for my last r***** post, I edited it so it makes more sense now but Im glad you, like me are still able to read things that dont make sense and actually make some of it lol.

So the DPE ONLY allows us to bring a player IN and not ship anybody OUT? If so, bring in whoever somebody wants to unload for a pick.

Another question as part of the DPE, does that allow us to bring in say 2 players from a team. For example, a young player that has potential and another thats on a mini semi bad contract year player? Because if so, either scenario im cool with.

 

There was an article during the offseason saying he might not be willing to sign for the minimum to get on a contender.

 

Again with the golf club! I swear Nash posting pics of him playing golf is like a arsonist walking around your neighbourhood with a can of petrol and a zippo. I hope we can find someone useful. Not sure what options we will take.

 

If we don't get a DPE because of Nash swinging a golf club, he can take his sappy little letter and stick it straight up his a**. He's been screwin' the Lakers over ever since he got here.

 

The Los Angeles Lakers on Monday were granted a Disabled Player Exception by the NBA in the wake of the long-term leg injury suffered opening night by rookie forward Julius Randle, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Lakers were granted the exception, valued at $1.5 million, after it was determined that Randle is "substantially" more likely than not to miss the remainder of his first pro season.

League rules stipulate that the Lakers can use the exception to sign a free-agent replacement for Randle worth up to $1,498,680, which amounts to 50 percent of Randle's rookie salary.

The Lakers could also choose to use the exception to trade for a player making up to $1,598,680 because trades via such exceptions allow for an extra $100,000. In a trade, though, L.A. can only take on a player in the final year of his existing contract.

Early indications are that the Lakers not planning to rush out and make a signing this week, but such exceptions do come with an expiration date. The Lakers, sources say, have until March 10 this season to either use the DPE, as its known, or lose it.

With respect to injured guard Steve Nash, meanwhile, sources say that the Lakers are still evaluating their options..

As ESPN.com reported last month when Nash was ruled out for the 2014-15 season because of recurring nerve issues with his back, Lakers officials are planning to explore the trade market for potential deals between now and the February trade deadline with Nash's $9.7 million expiring contract.
