    But you can get Tyson Chandler at the minimum and spend that $10 million on Wes Matthews or Danny Green, idk. Those guys play in big moments Favors watches.

    Not saying he has no value just that I’m not sure I want a guy who plays 22 minutes a game in the playoffs being my 3rd highest paid player

    Wes Matthews wouldn't get my $10M. Danny Green would, but barely. But I get what you're saying, your approach.

    Favors would get 22-23 minutes a night if everything goes well with AD's health. If they decide to add Favors it'll be them acknowledging that usually everything does not go well for AD, that there will likely be a bump in the road in terms of his health and that they want a quality defensive big in his place. Which is OK. As for Tyson Chandler, he'll probably be an option for the 3rd center slot, but nobody can go into the season relying on a player that was drafted in 2001

    BREAKING: The Lakers are looking to trade Mo Wagner, Isaac Bonga, and Jemerrio Jones to create $32M of cap space, enough to sign a max free agent, via ESPN.









    Should've known Moe Wagner was about to be traded. Out of the blue we find that he liked a racist post..definitely feels like trade leverage fuckery. Smh
    But obviously, this is good. You're not pressing to open the max slot if you're not confident that someone's coming.
    " Not Kawhi's MO to be a 3rd wheel. " - analyst Woj
    Yeah, I'm pretty sure Kawhi was the 3rd wheel in San Antonio for like 75% of his stay there.
    Analyst Woj is trash.

    I'm thinking we get Kawhi or Kemba.
    Sounds like Jimmy is going to get a solid offer from Philly, and he also seemed to enjoy playing with Embiid. Could see Simmons getting dealt.
    If Kawhi moves west, the east will be there for the taking for Philly/Jimmy. Should've beat Toronto w/Kawhi, probably the way they feel.

    Also sounds like the Knicks could take Garland. They may not want to miss Steph Curry again, and there are some similarities..Garland less decorated coming out, but still there are some similarities in their game

    Here is my prediction and I'm sticking to it.


    We will sign Butler.
    Kyrie will go to Brooklyn
    Durant will go to Brooklyn
    Kawhi to the clippers
    Kemba resigns in Charlotte
    Knicks sign Randle and DLo

    :D

    Expeditiously. D'angelo is a month or so removed from being popped at the airport by authorities, trying to sneak weed on a flight in a soft drink/stash box. Ain't nobody got time to raise jackass kids while trying to create the next Laker dynasty.

    No use for Julius either as an expensive role player. Go get me vet Jeff Green, who gave the Celtics the blues in the playoffs/2018.

    Not that big on Kemba, but he is among the best deep 3 shooters in the league. The greater the range, the better the spacing. Also a good free throw shooter.
    Don't like that he can be exposed defensively though..not at that price.
    Rather they just sign Darren Collison if they're going for a small guard that can shoot the 3.

    I see Kyrie/Durant in Brooklyn as well. D'angelo's dumbass thrown out on his keister.

    Here's the thing though. With a team of Lebron and AD, add Kawhi, and any medium talented shooter will look like Steph....or at least a VanFleet. Think about it. Those three make any player transform from cinder blocks to off the bench hero's.

    Celtics unraveling. Horford opting out and not optimistic on a new deal there. Lol
    Wouldn't mind Horford for the right price, if they strike out on Kawhi

    I dont think we need a heavy minutes PF type like Randle either.
    S/T with brooklyn using wagner and bonga to offset the bit of salary.
    I also think they both should go to NY and become all time greats there.
    Lakers are PF heavy as it is.
    AD wants to play PF, Kuz is not a good enough defensive player for SF's and LeBron has a PF body and should play there more as he ages.
    Those guys will get minutes at C as well. So the team only needs role player C types in terms of front court players.
    Boban is great for this kind of team as the MLE. He can start then take a seat 5 minutes in and then come in as needed to spell AD or Kuz.
    Getting Dangelo comes with a price break if it can be done via S/T. Dangelo is also not getting the max anyway so his salary cap hit will allow room for another veteran.
    It would be nice if the Lakers could get Dangelo and Joe Harris from the Nets and absorb them into their cap space.
    That would allow the Nets to sign 3 max players.

    PG: Dangelo, Caruso
    SG: Harris, Caruso
    SF: LeBron, Dudley
    PF: AD, Kuz
    C : Boban, Kuz

    I’d like to apologize and say I genuinely have no idea how that tweet was liked from my account. I would never purposely like something so terrible, and I’m sorry to anyone I hurt.






    I believe him. He's never come across that way
