if kyle lowry or demar derozan want to sign for the minimum to backup alex caruso they can. just dont give them any playoff minutes

I feel like Derozan would start over KCP at SG, but wasn't he playing PF for SA a lot last year? I swear that was a thing

I mean, someone would to take a hell of a discount or someone decides they want to give Schroeder a big deal but doesn't have capspace to sign him outright

I actually hope the Lakers can manage to hold onto Schroeder, I really like his defense and he's the quickest PG we've had in a long time.

For all of the poo poo Kuz got last year, he was still a good defender who shot 36% from deep

if im the lakers id rather have kuzma and #22 than hield.

especially if it included kcp too

I'd definitely do Kuzma and the pick for him, but I really dont want to include KCP in that deal. For one KCP actually plays defense while shooting well. For another thing, KCP is actually still younger somehow

I don't understand why the 76ers would want a pirate's hoard of draft picks and not win now players like what the Pacers allegedly offered. Are they basically viewing this year's run as an unexpected bonus and don't want to try to take an immediate run?

Its so they can flip those picks for a star to put next to Embiid

how much cash would be tied up between LeBron, AD, and Russ? What's the luxury cap situation for next season?

They were no where near the luxury tax this year, they'd probably be near it after this depending on how big of a contract Caruso gets. (Edit: Actually they were slightly over due to Deng's dead cap space)

They're sending out 36 mil and taking on 44 mil in Westbrook

They has a slightly better rating and a difference from 1st to 3rd on DRTG between last year without him and this year with him. He didn't hurt them for sure but also didn't help them. They were functionally identical.

They were functionally identical despite AD missing half of the season

He was a very good defender for us last year

Speaking of, apparently three teams are going to be offering Caruso the full MLE.

Gonna be hilarious when someone gives him that much money and then sticks him in the completely wrong defensive system and expects him to shutdown star guards by himself. He is a good individual defender, but his real strength is his ability to rotate well and handle switching

Rick posted:

So basing this on "credible" guys (we still count Stein as that, right?) the Lakers are looking at a roster that looks something like this:

Marc Gasol
Anthony Davis
Rudy Gay
Russell Westbrook
Patty Mills?

Dwight Howard
Anthony McKinney
E: oh and Carmelo Anthony

??? THT
??? Markief Morris
NOT Alex Caruso

Also that LeBron James fellow

I mean, he is statistically and from the eye test a really loving good defender and will make open threes when the defense collapses. I'm not calling him an all-star, but he definitely deserves the MLE. He's a 38% career 3 point shooter. He's a prototypical 3 and D guy.

On one hand, the Pels have a billion picks, so its not bad to trade them to secure someone they want now, rather than draft someone in 2 years and then have to develop them

On the other hand, you're supposed to be trading away the Lakers/Bucks picks, not your own
