It's going to be tough to understand the circumstances unless you're in LeBron's shoes. The way he was treated when he was the focal point of the...
$14 million isn't a bad price for Rui. But I just don't see him as a title contending piece. When you can't rebound, block shots, or defend well...
He reminds me a lot of Zach Lavine. Good shooter, explosive & athletic, and can rack up points. I think it'll take him 15-20 games to be...
He's getting moved. Lakers wanted the 2nd round picks to package him and Vando in a trade. Lakers know they need a backup big and perimeter...
Crazy how little interest Kuminga is getting around the league. Absolute steal if the Lakers can get him. He needs to be molded into being an OG...
Sexton was teammates with Walker for three seasons as well. Sexton off the bench is a real 6MOTY contender. For $9 million, it's worth it....
Last 'good' restricted agent that wasn't matched was Chandler Parsons over a decade ago. His final season (not player option) is only $33 million...
Instead of Grimes and you added Ellis + Smart, LeBron at vet minimum would change everything for this current Lakers roster.
I can live with Sandro. He's a very versatile PF. If you look at what John Collins got paid and what Rui will get paid, Sandro is worth it. With...
My concern is how Keon Ellis + Smart got $15 million combined. Is that not better than Grimes? I think Carr can develop into a Grimes-type player...
I'd rather have Smart + Kennard for $13 million combined than Grimes.
All NBA defenders Bronny/Knecht?
Like him a whole lot better than Rui. Rui + Kessler would be terrible. Sandro/Walker is going to be like Naz Reid/Gobert.
Your starting lineup is: SG: Reaves PG: Luka SF: Grimes PF: Sandro C: Kessler Kessler is going to have to get worked like a dog out there
Rob POlinka strikes again!
But why offer any of these players a player option? No one is paying Walker what the Lakers could. Sandro wasn't highly coveted. Neither was...
Welp, that explains why LeBron left. Walker + Sandro + Grimes + Sexton and then asking LeBron to take a paycut obviously wasn't going to sit well...
Everyone got a player option. Maybe we can get them as well.
Makes sense why LeBron left. These were not the correct moves at the prices. If you're going to convince LeBron to take less, why would he stay?
You let Kennard and Smart go for about $6 million, Tim Hardaway Jr. for $6 million to get Sexton at $9 million per year? What a complete...
