Unfortunately all our contracts are expiring. Ball and BI will get us to 16m, but I’d rather keep one of the two. Kuzma and Hart are about 1m each. I’m guessing Wagner and Bonga are 1m each too. Who’s left after that? |
We have 37-38m in cap space.
The max FA will cost 32.7.
BI/Lonzo/Kuz = 17.8m. So you can add the remaining cap space or add two of Hart/Mo/Bonga. |
That hurts though 😝 |
Not if you can theoretically have LBJ/KL/AD. (emphasis on theoretically... ).
But Plan 1A to me has always been about getting that max FA first, then deciding whether to keep the YUTES or trade for a 3rd star. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

we can do a sign and trade with like Lance. They waive him and then he can go be a backup for a contender _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

Can someone freshen my memory. Did we already have one max slot prior to the Moz for Brook trade? |

DLo is not an All-Star.
He is a replacement.
I'd take Jimmy Butler from a pure basketball perspective. _________________ Trade AD now. |

he chose him because he was next in the coaches voting, which is the same thing Silver has did since he has been commissioner. |

that is Silver's standard practice....he is not going to have it on him picking one player over another. |

Klutch has some very big misses....Nerlens Noel and KCP both rejected rich offers and have yet to come close to making up the money offered. It seems almost criminal that Rich Paul told Noel he would only take him on as a client if he accepted the QO. |

An all-star is not an all-star?
Who cares if he is a replacement. The coaches/NBA selected him as an all-star reserve. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

The problem is using the term "all star" as some kind of definitive standard that signifies a player is significantly better than most of the guys in the league.
Lebron, Durant and Curry are all stars.
But so were Mehmet Okur, Kyle Korver, Roy Hibbert, and Jamaal Magloire.
So some pretty average players have made an-star team.
Heck, when we signed Luel Deng he was only four years removed from making an all-star team, so I always roll my eyes a little when people measure players by whether they were all stars. |

So they’re all NBA players then. I put a bit more stock in all nba teams than all stars. But to say someone isn’t an all star bc they’re a reserve pick is asinine. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

For a little perspective here the Lakers FO in Magic unprofessionally trashed Mintz client Russell on the way out the door unnecessarily. Then tampered with Mintz about George later that same summer. When the league investigators came calling and wanted to speak with Mintz about the issue it was apparently Mintz who dropped the dime on Pelinka. I am sure the Lakers expected him to remain silent (putting his future as an agent on the line in the NBA.) Well maybe he would have remained silent if the Lakers had acted professionally with his client Russell. But they didn't.
Just a few months later you find the Lakers burying Randle on the bench attempting to tank his upcoming contract value and refusing a reasonable extension that could have probably been moved fairly easily. Is it any surprise Mintz didn't try to steer Paul George to the Lakers? |
