With Lebron and Rui renounced, Lakers would have about 55 million in cap room. Without Reaves agreeing to sign and trade, Lakers only have an...
:Laugh::Kobe Shrug::SmushFail2:
I think I have a bit of a read on what is happening here. As it stands, Lakers are projected to have approximately 55 million in cap room this...
Maybe try to get Kessler's bird right's from Utah? Remove the protection on the pick, and send them our 2032 2nd? They also get draft capital from...
Yeah the first going the Nets in that scenario would be fine. Lakers basically swap Rui for Claxton. That works.
Okay, that's a good point.
Trade optionality this Summer > 2026 Free Agents
They are still trying to compete. That's why Rui would be perfect for them. They could just renounce him after the season and get under the 2nd...

I'm wondering if Lakers are just looking at trading for expiring tradable contracts next season. The reason I say that is because players like...
Yeah, that would be a great move. They would still want someone that could still help them win now, and that person would probably have to be Rui....
3-team trade: Lakers get: Giannis, Thanassis, Kuzma (salary dump), Portis Warriors get: LeBron, Bronny, Rui Bucks get: Reaves, LaRavia, Butler,...
Giannis is closer to Luka's timeline than I initially thought. Luka is about to turn 27, and Giannis just tuned 31. So they are 4 years apart. So,...
Smells like a smoke screen.
Three point shooting also went down with Reaves out. We are 23rd in attempts and makes and 25th in percentage. Chain reaction.
Not sure if mentioned but Lebron hasn't changed his game to catch and shoot like a lot of us thought he would. Still dominating the ball, albeit...
