    Also, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not as knowledgeable on NBA free agency/salary cap science) shout out to AD for not automatically re-signing after becoming a free agent. Assuming he does re-sign, I'm pretty sure it allowed for some extra salary cap maneuverability with free agents.

    Could still use Iggy at the vet min. Special place in my heart for him after watching him light up the Celtics and close them out

    Both the Lakers and the Clippers are trying to sign Markieff Morris, league sources say

    The Lakers still have a cap hold based on AD’s projected salary, so the signings have to be made with this cap hold as part of the equations. It gets replaced by the actual salary once signed.

    Clippers pay Marcus Morris 64M guaranteed for 4 years. Lakers pay Markieff Morris the veteran minimum.

    Sign Boogie and any wing defender or shooter and we’re golden.

    Not sure how good a fit Boogie is for a team heading into a condensed season that's going to have more back to backs and less rest in general. Would be wise for Pelinka to do everything he can to make sure that healthy guys have these roster spots

    Can we trust Boogie to be healthy and play? Word is he won't be ready to begin the season, so that's already a red flag under the circumstances. Guess we'll find out pretty soon

    We don’t need Boogie right away, and we don’t have to play him every game. But he’s a different look than Gasol and more versatile IF healthy.

    Plus never underestimate the desire of a player seeking a ring (Dwight is exhibit #1).

    That being said, a wing defender or another 3pt specialist will also come in handy.

    Yeah I question Boogie's desire in general. How can he not be ready to play? He's been called lazy before. Wouldn't really shock me if Marc Gasol were essentially Boogie Cousins right now - except with defense. I will say this though Boogie looks lean in some of his workout vids

    But I guess if they do decide to bring Boogie back that's cool too. More hype. And having him around didn't stop them from getting #17. It's look like they may keep McKinnie and use him. Funny thing in all of this action is that now everyone is overlooking Talen Horton-Tucker and what he's about to unleash

    Windhorst suspects AD is taking his time to decide what contract he chooses is because of Giannis. If Giannis doesn’t sign supermax he thinks AD will sign a 1+1, both him and Lebron will opt out next offseaon and recruit Giannis to the Lakers
