Yeah much better center options available in the draft vs. free agency or trade, for what we need. Better to use free agency and/or trades for...
I'm glad you brought up these players. I started watching tape on them. Mara and Bidenga seem like good targets. Mara is 7-3 255 and barley needs...
Different situation though. Hayes fills an important need on a Luka team. He's a lob-catching big and is one of the few bright spots this season....
But you need to understand Hayes is Lukas Buddy on and off the court. Jaxon's cap hold is 6.5 million. He will get at least that. I mean around...
You definitely make a great point. Jax is in that Lively role. Kennard has made an impact and shown he fits well with Luka. The other players...
Ideal path would be to surround Luka and Reaves with an elite rim-protector/lob-catcher and two lock-down defenders who could also shoot at least...
I like Kennard but I come to terms with possibly letting him go. Yeah, the buy out route for Ayton would be preferable. Lakers could do the...
Lakers could ask Ayton to opt-out of his 8.1 million player option, and promose to pay him the full 9.4 million room-exception. Ayton gets a 1.3...
It's not just advanced analytics though. It's also some relatively basic stats. Defense This season, he is averaging 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks in...
Best Lakers/Mavs model plan (1) Trade Knecht + 23rd pick + 31 1st to New Orleans for Missi + 32 2nd Lakers dump Knecht's contract, and open up a...
I like Claxton more than Allen. He's much more bouncy. Fits that Gafford/Lively archetype much better imo. Vanderbilt + 26 1st + 31 1st + 33 2nd...
Oh wait, if it's that low, shouldn't it be 20.9 then? I thought the salary was times 190% only if they make less than league average?
So is this guy going to opt-out now?
Clark
Good information. I thought it was 20.9. So, it changes things a bit. Also,190% would make Keon's cap hold around 4.4 million, and Jaxon's around...
I think it could be possible, but it would take away leverage, because after getting Allen, we would no longer be able to threaten a large offer...
Okay this does make sense... Cavs Situation Teams are required to be under the 1st apron after the completion of a sign-and -trade in order for...
That guy is a great coach, isn't he?
Could make it so we just trade Knecht + 2031 for Allen + Ellis for trade #1 and the 2033 2nd for Merill for trade #2. Cavs would end up just...
Trade #1 Lakers get: Jarrett Allen, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, and Keon Ellis (Sign-and Trade starting at 22.9 million) Cavs get: Dalton Knecht, 2031...
