would love this... Imagine out-rebounding teams by double next season.

Will take a little bit to make the numbers work even with Green in there:

Need to pretty much throw half our roster in there for the financials:

I don't like that the hot trade rumors now for us centered around DRose...

But I do like what Duds says here about the cap for us and the spectrum deal:

That part of the roster didn't see the court or didn't make an impact so they can go.

That part of the roster didn't see the court or didn't make an impact so they can go.

Dudley, Cook, Green, Kuzma, Gee, Morris, Waiters,Smith and KCP can go! If you check what they all produced at both ends of the court and what they took in cash, they underperform badly! KCP has a better chance to stay, but he just opt out. He might be used as a pawn to a s&t move. Our bench was very weak! Only Caruso, Howard and Rondo were solid and they made peanuts. Our bench was put together under pressure and with limited time. Now, our management team has plenty of time to grab a better set of players. Morris if he takes the same salary, could stuck around and so is Waiters, but I think we can do better. Also, I hope that AB stays to make up for his absent time in the bubble.

You like to make it too far lol

KCP and Keef produced for what they were asked to do mostly, Rondo, Caruso and Dwight were key pieces, THT showed potential and Waiters didn't have a true opportunity, others can go.

And yes Bradley owns us a revenge so he better deliver next year.

Lakers might want to make a push at Giannis or figure out a way to land Beal or Zack Lavine. Dont be surprise if they just sign cheap 1 year deals and look very similar. Because of the money shrunk money on the open Market guys may also not opt out.

Lakers could end up looking like

mcgee, Cousins
Davis, Kuzma
Lebron, melo
KCP, Green,
Rose, Bradley

Saw recently Beal saying he wants to spend his entire career in Washington, not sure how much value to add to that but seems like he won't be realistic for us. Lavine no idea what he would command in a trade.

Still think the Drummond trade scenarios discussed above seem alot more realistic. On the other hand, would hate to pay someone just to sit an entire game or even series because we are going "small ball"

And what still hasn't been mentioned of having Drummond on the team is the physical toll it would save both AD & LBJ. Having the games best rebounder keeps them 2 from having to bang down low for rebounds.

I wana bring back Dudz for the Vm. The guy doesn't have to play he just needs to keep that locker room healthy.

He can offer a lot of other things off the floor.

the CP3 noise reminds me of the Melo chatter earlier this year. not sure if there’s really anything substantial behind it but just the association LeBron has with Paul which makes for an easy and simple connection.

[LakeShowAZ]

Not really a fan of bringing in CP3.

Way too much money.

There has to be better options.

Unless he gets bought out and we get him on the cheap...

No way they buy out Paul. Lakers also dont have anything to trade for Paul. This may be highly unlikely.

[ldawg]

Cheap 1 year deals along with Guys who will opt in. Reload with hungry vets. I think Howard and Morris will go for the cash.


Mcgee, Marc Gasol
Davis, Kuzma
Lebron, Tony Snell
KCP, Clarkson
Rose, Bradley
