That makes sense. I have been researching Watson lately, and my interest has declined quite a bit. It would be more trouble than what it's worth,...
I think we could get 2-3 starters. Option A could still be an option before the trade deadline. At that point, we would have filled our cap room,...
6'3 to 6'7 - 3 and D specialists: approximate annual salary. Just to get an idea of Dort's production relative to his salary, and what he might be...
We probably could get Watson, but it would likely mean we decide not to get Dort on Draft Night. I mentioned earlier that we can get both of them,...
Denver would have to move mountains. More than just dumping Johnson. It's going to be hard for them to sign Watson for more than 30 million or so.
Jalen Suggs? Yeah, that's another potential option. We could send out some salaries for him. Something like LaRavia + Ayton + 33 1st + 33 2nd +...
Of course there's a huge amount of chips to fall this offseason. All we could do is speculate the best we can. I tend to be more on the worst case...
I have Lakers salaries (with Dort) as follows: Luka 49.8 million Reaves 26.5 cap hold Vando 12.43 Ayton 8.1 LaRavia 6.0 Smart 5.39 Knecht 4.2...
Houston's financial situation is a lot better than Denver's. Need to be able to threaten them with an offer sheet in order to help create leverage...
B But we ant afford Eason without stretching players.
Point taken on the stretch provision. Maybe that's the break glass option. I hear you on only getting 2 starters as opposed to two. I'm fine...
Well it kind of limits us on what we could spend. For example, if we get Dort + 18th pick on draft night, it leaves us with about 16.6 million to...
Yeah, me too. That was like 7.6 million per year for 5 to 7 years, I think. But, that was a much higher percentage of what the cap was back then,...
Yeah, something of that sort. Using the 1st-round pick(s) for a big, and waive and stretch + cap room + future draft capital to fill the two open...
I suppose Dort is worth the 2031 1st in a vacuum. Although there are a lot of fans on here that would disagree. He's kind of polarizing. But at...
If Lakers trade for Dort + #12, they would have only about 15 million left in cap room. If Vando is waived and stretched, it would give us about...
Vando might end up getting waived and stretched, and Knecht just waived. Lakers would pay Vando around 5.4 million per year for 5 years, instead...
This season, one of our biggest problems is we have three heavy minutes players who's best defensive position is power forward, and two of them,...
Yeah I'm thinking something like the 2031 1st + 2032 swap for Dort + #12, and draft Mara. OKC doesn't have the roster spots, and they are facing...
Okay, I see what you are saying. Maybe you want to get Krivas for perceived asset value? Morez has got more publicity than Cyril, Bidunga, and...
