Believe the 29th is the date he has to opt in.

Yep. If I had to put money on it, I'd say that he opts in at the last minute and then pushes for a sign and trade.

Believe the 29th is the date he has to opt in.

I honestly think it's best for the Lakers if he does opt out.

Sure, it opens the door for more suitors.

But, it gives you the easiest path to acquire him.

Of the teams that should want him, gotta think it would be down to the Lakers, Mavs, Heat and Knicks.

He could win with the 1st 3, he wouldn't have to move his family with the later.

Welp, it sounds like that is it for KD as well

do we still have rights to Ira Newble to offer up for KD?

 

[DJ]

Josh Okoige didn't get a qualifying offer?

Horrible, offensively.

Good wing defense.

Da fuq?

His playing time took a hit this past season.

 

[Mecca]

Problem is…

His trade value depends on whether the acquiring team prefers to have him for 1 year or long term.

So they need to talking to his suitors now to figure that out.

Exactly.

 

[tlance]

Knicks, bro.

If they whiff on Brunson, they will pivot to Brogdon in desperation.

Different regime.

But, this is the same Organization that gave up a 1st for Andrea Barganini... Lol

I don’t know.

They are dumb.

But are they really that dumb?

Maybe.

But it also hard caps you

Might not matter for the lakers this year, but it could

It’s likely a multi team trade since kyrie make enough less than russ to matter for this

Can't see any interest by the Heat. As I've said before, he is the opposite of Heat culture. Also, the Heat require their players to be vaxxed and Kyrie isn't.

 

[DJ]

Easily. Hell throw in 2 to get all the pieces you need. You worry about post Lebron, post Lebron

This.

If they give him the tax payers exception?

They are only working with vet mins anyway.

I'd much prefer to be hard capped for Kyrie, over hard capped for Monk, as much as I like him.

 

[The Q]

This.

I know the lakers won’t have a lot of firsts

But they can buy multiple seconds each year

Round out a cheap role player depth team and get the studs via fa like they always do.

The article was taking about sign and trade opportunities

 

[dtgold88]

Put a gun to his head

Kyrie's head? are we sure he believes in bullets?

 

[The Q]

He believes Russian roulette is a drink

Yeah.

Well, they are scrambling to get space to sign Brunson as if he's Steph Curry, Dame Lillard.

Nice player.

Nowhere near a franchise guy.

It's kinda baffling to me, honestly.

 

[dtgold88]

I have learned when she says, "Do whatever you want" means the exact opposite.

Just know when she asks you to choose between 2 options and you say "why don't you tell me which I prefer" it may not go over well.

They need a PG and you knew they were going all in on him when they brought in his dad as an assistant coach.

If he does, he also believes this is possible.
