What depth
Trad
Next season
Bron, Ad, Reaves, Rui, Shroder, Vanderbilt,
Get kuzma, Turner
Keep Christie, Swider, Thompson, Huff
3yrs/45million sounds about right to me lol. Seriously nobody wants him and his entire playoff career he’s been known as a choker.
Seth curry
Miles Bridges would be useful to guard kd
vando will always be a liability in the playoffs
If the Mavs are willing to sign and trade Kyrie for $34M, then Malik Beasley and Mo Bamba are enough ($26.8M with 125%=$33.5M). Contractually, that would be attractive (2 expiring contracts) to the Mavs, along with 1 or both of the Lakers' 1st round picks. This would trigger the hard cap. But the Lakers would be capped at the first tax apron of $169M. This would leave about $35M after acquiring Kyrie. That's enough to sign both AR15 ($12M) and Rui ($13M). Leaving about $10M to sign 6 minimum contracts between $1.4 – $2M. This could happen and the Lakers could keep both Rui and AR15.
Priority getting centers (BLopez, Turner) to slide AD at 4. Also try to acquire Shake Milton or Jalen McDaniels if the sixer won't sign them.
Bless this channel for helping us get thru the off season!!!
FREE AD…. go get a stretch 5: Brook Lopez, Naz Reid, Myles Turner etc. 💜💛😈💛💜
If anthony davis is best as a roaming defender what we need to do is get a quality center so that we can play them both at the same time
HEAT WON GAME 7
Kyrie is not the fixer to our shortcomings. Yes, a 3point shooter and a star. Would result in a Big Injury Three with no depth. Kyrie didn’t win a chip with Harden/Durant. You have to have depth to sustain the long season, weather injuries, and provide continuity.
Nah ain't got time for rookies to develop its win now trade one of them first rounders and get what you need stop playing around wasting years of what bron got left
You didn't think what ? @trevor ? you were wrong lol
They did fall flat on their face real bad!
We have a shooter on the roster already…and he’s 6’9 220
Get Dlo out. Walker did way better than him on both ends. He's not hit age reliable.. they can have him.. sorry Trev.I don't know what games you were seeming but the man had 3 good games out of all his games.. def trash.. most of offense run an hide an pass his man off. He can't get it on his own. I'm good in Dlo.. he can get Lo..
Hey we pulled enough as Butler and Miami pulled it out in game 7. So a stress free finals. I am rooting for Denver cause we can then say at least we lost to the champs. No Kyrie, run it all back.Only deal I would want would be a deal to bring back Alex Caruso.
Kyrie to much drama, he unpredictable, basketball ain't #1 to him.
Let's keep team together, focus on two solid centers.
TREVOR!! We had one of those CENTER already. Thomas Bryant great scorer. He step up when AD was out. He has great offense. We let him go to Denver. Bad move.
Off topic! Get Morant get Morant get Morant! A little late, Celtics lost! Forget Irving get a Morant!
Loved TB but that deal was a no brainer. He can't play defense there's a reason he is DeAndre Jordans backup in Denver lol
DLo at 18m 20m and a team option for 22m the 3rd year! Tradeable contract, but room to have him improve in his role.
Dlo was good in the regular season and up until the Denver series. Everyone being reactive and recency bias like the regular season doesn’t count. Denver was able to rest at the end of the regular season and are playing good now because they had a good regular season. They were smart with their guys. No reason we can’t do the same. Sign dlo, just need a more defensive minded backup and a solid center
Vogel as the coach would have done a better job against the nuggets.
One guy (via trade)…. Bojan Bogdanovic. Yes he's older… but he checks the most boxes and would be a fire 3rd (3A 3B with Austin)
Just played some NBA2K traded D'Lo for Rudy Gobert and Troy Brown and Bee's for Luke Kennard and a center that's not very good and i'll possibly trade away and that's just a start. Why coz of defense rebounding and shooting. I'm not even finished yet.
Darvin Hamm is an idiot. I meant that disrespect.
well the Lakers didn't play their 3 Point shooters in the playoffs…what do you expect to happen?
U got 2 pay Dennis b4 Russell
There is no Salary Cap for the Front Office. Clippers were smart enuf to hire J. West as Consultant. Jeanie Shud get on the phone like Yesterday and offer BOB MEYERS whatever the hell he wants to work as LAL Consultant
