    You have Luka, Lebron, AR, Rui. And DFs till today That's a good place to start. I hope there is plan here as it was the lack of 5-8 guys that killed the Lakers in the playoffs and lot of good vets who could played those roles have signed for pretty reasonable deals

    Well..Dallas basically traded Luka, because they thought he was lazy and unserious. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    I'm guessing that...1. Rob sees the rook as a DFS replacement. 2. He picked up a Dalton replacement today. 3. Since I haven't seen us talking about Rui, signing an extension at all, that he might be on the move.

    Soo..Ayton, Kessler and Collins , Melton and finishing up with CP3? That's a huge landscape change.

    Edit..The firecrackers have too many players, so it's possible that we pull off a three way deal with Utah, that routes Capela, Collins and Whitmore to LA.

    Capela signed for around 7mil, which would be what we have left from the split MLE after LaRavia. And signed it to go be backup of Sengun instead of a starter here

    I guess we also didn't talk to him either


    It seems we went into FA and haven't approached Capela or Sharpe. We either didn't want them at all or we already have the center locked, be it an FA or a trade target

    Capela is a 5, and they already have Adams. They have to move several players, in order to make the money work in Houston. They aren't done making moves.

    We wanted a young lob threat big ,that can board, and be on Luka's timeline. We didn't chase any of the FA bigs, and Ayton shares the same agent with Luka? This can't be a coincidence, and Ayton's buyout request didn't just come out of the blue. Duffy is pulling Rich Paul type of moves. Rob has two assistant GM's now.
