You was saying that last season too... remember?

OBVIOUSLY Buckalis is in denial...

was AD on the team last season...?

I mean, wow...

this sums up Buckalis rather nicely...

Ok... if that is what is bothering you (including Zubac 1.5M) in the list... then take wipe that out... Deng's 6M are still on the books and the rest were still wasted for nothing because Lebron needed them with the Cavs...

Bucks thank you for Lopez, Pels thank you for Randle in addition!

First of all, it's quite clearly $5M, not $6M. Your own Bucks team has nearly $4M in dead cap themselves (Hawes and Sanders ring a bell?). Randle just opted out of his player option for Randle, we'll see if they're willing to pay $20M+ instead of that $9M bargain he signed for last year. Lopez is also a free agent. Facts.

and btw, KEEP sLopez since he's so fond of him. I STILL say the guy's too slow to guard my couch...

Black Adam · Jun 17, 2019

funny part about all this is with the Warriors already banged up before the 2019/2020 season even begins Buckalis finds it hard to believe that the Lakers with 2 superstar players can make the playoffs(depending on health, of course). it's gonna be wide open in the Western Conference this upcoming season. I don't see what's so hard to get here...

I was happy he wasn't retained for that very reason. The big loss to me last year was Thomas Bryant. Wouldn't mind getting him (or Satoransky) away from the Wiz, but they're both RFAs, which complicates a lot of things.

DID see some potential with Bryant. the 5 position is changing so much these days though that they throw cats in at 6'8" to play the position...

That is all nonsense...
1. We are not talking the Bucks here, who were forced to do what they did and then 2M out of their stretched goes away this season...
2. Randle won't cost 20+ for the Pels to retain and then they can easily afford the cost it will be... then the Pels will have another 23M of cap space added next season out of their expirings Hill and Moore (both of which they may just waive this season or just use as salary fillers in 3 team deals...)
3.Lopez is resigning with the Bucks for the MLE (9.3M) although he can have more if interested... he is not!

Thanks to the Lakers, he made enough for his salary to be of second (or third) priority for him and being with the team he loved and enjoyed most in his career is his first priorty...

I guess you'll never understand what being with a condending TEAM means to some, rather of participating to a CIRCUS that all it knows is buying...

Lakers didn't pay Lopez.

That was the Nets.

Lakers traded for him in the final year of his deal because he was an expiring contract.

Nuggets Explored Trade For Anthony Davis

The Denver Nuggets explored the possibility of an Anthony Davis trade before the New Orleans Pelicans traded him to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Nuggets would have been more aggressive in pursuing a trade for Davis if they believed he would strongly consider re-signing with the franchise in free agency in 2020. The Nuggets, however, were confident that wasn't the case.

The Pelicans insisted any deal for Davis include Jamal Murray, but that was a non-starter for the Nuggets.

The Lakers were willing to give up more for Davis than the Nuggets.

Meh.

The quarters, dimes and nickels of a mediocre team.

And if Bron and AD are healthy, those are not going to be high draft picks.

Agree. 2 injured guys and a dime a dozen guard?

What two superstars? AD and who else?

...and then with what team?

Well yeah.

At least for now.

If they go ahead and use their cap space to resign Rondo and KCP, then I am pretty sure you will hear a lot more about how bad their front office is.

For now though, they made a very good move and have 2 superstars.

Again I don't profess to be a capologist but they should be able to sign a near max and then sign sign Rondo and KCP above cap no?

here's a small clue...

let's hope it doesn't blind you...further...

Black Adam · Jun 17, 2019

and as much as I personally despise LeClown I never denied his skills...

so you're saying he's NOT a superstar, Buckalis...?

please say yes, I could use the laughs...

Stakesarehigh · Jun 17, 2019

I guess I'm just not understanding why we are acting like the Lakers wont work this so they can go above cap

Yea

I just can't imagine being lined up for a Max contract and being a douche over four million bucks potentially costing your new team a max player

Actually, the only way that the Lakers would have enough space for a full max would be if they wait until July 30th to make the trade official. I don't see the Pels being ok with that.

So, it really becomes the difference between having $24 million in cap space or $28 million.

Stakesarehigh said:
I see Kemba is willing to take below max. Dude won in college maybe he takes a little less to get competitive

He said he'd take less to stay put. I don't know as that he's said he'd take less someplace else.

Having taken the time to look at their options more closely I'd be inclined to agree.
