I know just one game, but it reminded me how Rui sort of "tries to do too much" on offense sometimes. Here is a comparison for you: Rui only 43%...
Idk man, he might cost that much. If he does, then that would likely mean he had a great season, and maybe so did the team. That's not a bad...
I don't have the info in front of me right now, but if we max out Bron at basically 50, and AR at 42, and extend Rui starting at around 16, and DA...
I read some where that Lebron has been working even more on his catch-and-shoot threes. This should benefit players like Luka and Austin. Reaves...
I have Reaves penciled in at 42 million, which is his max (25% of the cap). It would be nice if he would take less, but Lakers probably should...
22M seems a little high for Rui. I'm sorry, but I don't think he is an NBA starter on a championship team. Not, with this team anyway. Also, I...
Yeah, I think Lakers' goal is to low-key get the best two-way POA defender possible without giving up Reaves. I think, they have everything else...
Since there are not many 3 and D options out there, I would be willing to risk trading the 2031 1st for a player that is a little older than...
Yeah, I would go ahead and see if he would take around 4 years/ 70 million. This deal would start at around 15.5 million and go up with 8% raises....
No, I think it could be a factor. Demographics data might suggest that. It really could be a win-win for both parties, if handled properly. I...
This team might end up doing really well. Rui is a "nice" shooter, and I'm fine with signing him to an extension at a "discount". But, I think we...
If his shot is for real, then heck yeah we do. PG: Vando (24) Smart (24) SG: Reaves (36) LaRavia (12) SF: Doncic (36) LaRavia (12) PF: James (30)...
Maybe after December 15, Lakers could trade Kleber + 2031 1st (top-8 protected) to the 76rs for Grimes and Gordon?
Yeah maybe a starting lineup of: PG: Vanderbilt (defensively) SG: Reaves SF: Luka PF: Hachimura C: Ayton Vanderbilt's shot looks really good...
Brooks seems like the lease point guard defender out of those three guys. But, it is unlikely we get the latter two.
Ellis is a better fit with Luka and Reaves because he is a much better defender than Rui, defends the point guard, and is a higher volume 3-py...
If the Kings are desperate to shed salary, another thing we could do is something like this: Lakers get: Malik Monk and 2031 1st (top-4...
Luka is better at the 3, defensively. Austin is at the 2. Ellis would be the 1. But, I agree we are probably not getting Ellis. Whoever we do get...
Yeah, we probably won't get Ellis. The Kings just traded a bunch of draft picks for LaVine, so I don't think they will find Knecht + our 2031 1st...
Ellis has been a high volume 3-pt shooter per 36 minutes for all three seasons of his young career. Last season he hit 1.7/4 threes per game,...
