2022 NBA Offseason thread

Didn’t the lakers trade their 3rd best player AND a first round pick to add Schroeder to a title team?

Yep. The Lakers acquired Schroder for Danny Green and a first-round pick in 2020 and had serious contract extension discussions before Schroder turned down a deal worth more than $80 million.

The Lakers really need another point guard

What they need is another losing season.

I was against green for Schroeder straight up

Me too.

Every fan base seems to hate Danny Green when he plays for them.

But he is a very underrated role player.

Or at least he was.

Will Love be allowed to take naps at halftime? In NBA years he's really old.

He's good in the regular season but is prone to stinking it up in the post season. That's why most of the fan bases get frustrated with him

A Kobe Workout. Maybe Ham will get this guy to play like he should have all along.

Don't hold your breath.

whatever gets him through the season.

He fits in really well with this Cavs team.

He really does......for what he can do on the court and they need some vets.

He was an important part of that title team. You think the Cavs will retire his number?

Yeah

Barring something completely crazy (Love punches Gilbert's kid?) I'd say 100% chance he makes it.

 

[DJ]

The only other reason I can think of is that plan B is to tell Russ to stay home.

If there isn't a trade......I think that is what happens.


And Bev, Schroder and Nunn at PG is pretty good depth in case of an injury.

Media day 1 week away. Basketball is basically back

@trojanfan12 @Mamba @Retroram52 @shopson67 @Black Adam

Do you guys know who Keith Smith is?

He's the guy who does the cap stuff on spotrac.

He and the Lakers nation Dude, Trevor Lane , have this YouTube show called NBA front office.

They discussed some stuff today that makes me think @The Q is right.

Lakers need to do the Utah trade.

Because the cap went up, LeBron and Ad's number does as well.

So, even if you renounce everyone on the roster, get off Christie and your 1st round pick, you can't get to a max offer slot.

With the guys currently signed, the player options, the minimum contract cap holds, the 1st round pick...you will have 25 mil in cap space.


Ummmmm, no bueno.

You can't even make a small trade for just Bogdanovic or Held because you have no medium contracts.

So, why not trade Russ for all those smaller parts and use those guys to do other deals?

Kyrie is probably willing to take a pay cut.

But, 16 mil per?

I wouldn't punt the Season.

Video should start on the part about the Lakers.

Yeah, that's more or less what I was expecting. Kyrie is too much of a flake to count on anyway.

 

[shopson67]

I mean getting Conley would make sense

But now they don’t need to get him for sure

They could get bog Beasley and Rudy gay and still have their precious cap space if they wanted

The point of getting Beasley would be to keep him beyond this coming season though. The cap space is a false narrative IMO, and really should only be a deciding factor on negative assets and longer term contracts.

 

[ChrisperJ10]

What a garbage list, a PG who hasn’t played in like 17 years makes the top 10. Garland at 13 lol
