if kawhi doesnt sign, whose is the defensive guy we can sign and put on him in the nba finals?
James Butler
butler didnt do anything in these playoffs against Kawhi. plus signing him at max takes away any other decent signing

I think at that point you have to hope Kawhi goes to the Clippers, and go for Danny Green. Green would be the absolute best player to put on Kawhi as he knows his offensive movements better than most _________________ #18 next...

have Bev hound him all throughout the series, play 2 of AD, mcgee,Dj,noel,or whoever the Lakers sign either alter his shot or knock him down when he gets near the rim. even tho THT is 18, he s a tough kid and knows how to use his gorilla arms and hands, can t wait to see the kid play defense in the pros.
btw Danny green for vet min only. pay him more for multi years will regret.

Goudeluck was actually studding at Euroleague. This Brangers is not even playing somewhere close to that level. At age 24, there’s nothing much to unravel.

Choose between:
Danny Green
Trevor Ariza
Reggie Bullock
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson
Rodney Hood
Thabo Sefolosha
Wilson Chandler
Richard Mbah a Moute _________________ In Rob I trust.

Butler with Rondo
OR
Russell with Pope
Which would be your preference?
Russell with Pope for mine. For what we need, KCP > Rondo any day of the week _________________ #18 next...

Yes. That guy clearly didn't watch that series. Butler was a lucky shot away from leading the Sixers past the Raptors. He is the best 2 way player available after Kawhi.

Offensively
What's the point of having butler on the max if he isn't going to provide the defense?
He did provide defense. No one in the league can stop Kawhi. This isn't a video game. Kawhi is going to get his no matter what. It's the Fred Vanvleet's that need to be stopped from going off.

I think the move would be...
Danny Green: 2yrs, $24m ($12m starting)
Marcus Morris: 3yrs, $35m ($11m starting)
Seth Curry: 2yrs, $15m ($7m starting)
Elfrid Payton: 2yrs, $10m ($4.5m starting)
Robin Lopez: Room Exception
Kyle Korver: Vet Minimum
Rajon Rondo: Vet Minimum
Tyson Chandler: Vet Minimum
Elfrid Payton...Rajon Rondo
Danny Green...Seth Curry
Marcus Morris...Kyle Korver
LeBron James...Kyle Kuzma
Anthony Davis...Robin Lopez...Tyson Chandler
Need another couple guys who can stand in here and there, but that team is a title contender. I like the idea of signing Payton and Curry to hedge our bets a bit, but add a diversified set of younger talent.
It is notable that his playoff numbers are significantly lower though.
Obviously I wouldn't be upset if we signed him... but we need to get DRose or Rondo... or some other low cost facilitator to balance the lack of playmaking if we signed him. Unless Caruso immediately blossoms into a full fledged rotation or starter... Brogdon's usefulness would be limited by not having a traditional point guard.
Brogdon is a lot better. Rather have him.
hmm, did not see him on the All Star team this year...must have missed him
True but still think he's better. Just because DLO lucked out and was an all star replacement doesn't make him any better than Brogdon.
how does 1 lucked out in an All star game while the other does?
did he pay bribe or just got lucky? no idea what that means.
I am not a dlo guy but logically he makes sense as he 23 with much better upside then a guy like brogdan who is older then AD and career path of a role player
Also important note: 1 might become available because his team wants to pair Kyrie + KD while the other's team has full rights to match him cause his cap hold is only 3m
Who cares if made the all star or not. It doesnt make him a better or worse player if he didnt make it.
Brogdon is the better player of the two.
1st off brogdan is getting matched, and the Lakers can't wait for 3 days. brogdon was also 3rd or 4th option on his team. best opposing teams defenders were on giannis or middleton. dlo was the net s goto guy. even if brogdons a UFA, not gonna give 20plus mil to someone who has no history of being able to carry a team even for a short period of time who s already in their primes. would like to see if he can maintain his stats with more attempts while going against good defenders.
Brogdon is better than DLO in almost everything except playmaking.

Kwahi isn't going to be stopped but the difference in his efficiency & shooting b/w PHI vs Mil/GS is noticeable, especially when we're talking about maxing a guy who's 30 yrs old with a ton of mileage. Defense usually falls off faster as nba athletes age.
I think DLo is the perfect player to pick up. His age and price is the most inortabt thing. He was meant to be a laker. I hope the nets sign Kyrie and Kd the first day because D’Lo is what we need to win now and to win 5 years from now
