Gotta be on this team's FA radar, no?

With this off seasons free agency class being as week as it is, teams are gonna be going for shooters. We don't have the money to compete. Bertans and Harris are gonna be overpaid badly.

I think the way to go is through trades. Last night's game should be affirmation that neither Kuzma or Green have much trade value but I think there's trades out there.

Players I think we can get for what we have: Snell, Svi, Bjelica

Lakers receive: Jerami Grant
Nuggets receive: Kyle Kuzma, #28 pick and Danny Green

[Trade Bait]

Lakers trade Kuzma, Green & #28
Lakers get Ariza, Trent & #16

That has significant merit. Ariza is almost cooked but can defend and shoot. Trent played well, is Klutch and can shoot. Don’t care for the picks, but if it comes, OK.

Still believe Carmelo could come next year, maybe an add in on a small S/T. They could use Javale also and would be pretty interested in Caruso. A trade with Portland is very possible. Good job Tex.

The picks were overkill, doubt Portland does that. The players IMO is pretty much equal though.

The thing with Ariza though is he had added value if you want to salary dump. Not us so much cause it would give us very little cap space. Only $1.8 million of his contract is guaranteed for next season.

I knew it was a mistake signing this guy for 15 mil.

Melo would have been good this year but that ship has sailed. We need some young blood. Having a guy to hold players like Butler and 3 point shooting seem to be more of importance. Melo over Dudley was the move but not now.

Mike Scott replaces Morris without us having to use any exceptions. McDermott becomes our Mike Miller off the bench. TJ is our 3rd playmaker/2nd once Rondo gets hurt. Trent Jr another shooter coming off the bench but will jump into the starting line up as soon as Bradley gets injured and KCP moves to PG.

This trade covers a few holes before the draft and free agency so we could now funnel our limited spending money on other necessities.

Pretty much we get Trent Jr for Kuzma and Scott, McDermott & McConnell for Green

[Mave1002]

LAL In: Jrue Holiday
PHX In: Lonzo/Kuzma (Green/McGee)
NOP IN: Ayton/Rubio

Suns - They lose Ayton but they get to form a solid core of young players, though I'm not sure if they'd be willing to pay Ball/Kuz once their contracts are up

McGee/Kaminsky
Kuzma/Diallo
Oubre/Bridges
Booker/Green
Ball/Payne

Pelicans - their frontcourt is set basically for the next decade and acquires a tested facilitator to replace Jrue and Lonzo

Ayton/Hayes
Zion/Melli
Ingram/Miller
Redick/Hart
Rubio/NAW

Lakers
Mid-Level Exception: Dwight Howard/N.Noel (Klutch)
Bi-Annual Exception: K.Morris (Klutch)
Vets Minimum: Rondo/DMC/Justin Holiday or Stanley Johnson

Dwight/Noel (DMC)
Davis/Morris
LBJ/Johnson
KCP/Caruso
Holiday/Bradley (Rondo)

I really like the idea of Trent Jr. joining Klutch and the Blazers need for a starting PF (Collins comes off the bench)....

[Bongashow]

Justin Holiday seems to be one of the best possible (realistic) FA signings?

About Green: I guess if he gets traded to a lottery team, he will end up on the Clippers/Warriors after buyout?

[LakeShowAZ]

For sure.

Way too much for such low performance.

[New Power House]

I knew it was a mistake signing this guy for 15 mil.

Well, now he is an expiring $15 mill. Kuzma as as bad as he has been in a package with Green and a pick could bring us a good return.

Let him join the Flippers!

Lakers and Pelicans say yes. Hard pass by the Suns....

This is a playoffs or bust season for the Suns. They're a slow start away from Booker wanting out. If anything they'd be after Jrue, and it wouldn't take Ayton to get him. IMO that #10 pick could get either Jrue or Ball. Rubio, #10 and filler for Holiday or #10 and either Johnson or Bridges for Ball.
