If the Lakers improve the roster I'll be disappointed.

They already have IMO, just not drastically yet.

Who can sign him to an offer sheet? Nobody has the cap space that would be interested.

Yep, it would have to be a sign-and-trade and the teams that are seem interested don't have the assets. All the teams that HAD cap space and were interested already made previous moves. Klutch has no leverage

Nunn/THT for Sexton confirmed!

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wait.

So in this universe the Spurs are absorbing contract and giving up extremely valuable picks to do so?

No, they would be getting a pick in return and getting rid of McDermott or Richardson is my guess.

They're looping a 3rd team that is taking on Russ's contract and giving up 2 firsts for the privilege

No, looks like the 2 firsts would go to the Spurs. So it would be Russ to the Spurs with 2 firsts, Kyrie to the Lakers and assets from the Spurs to the Nets but doesn't say what those assets would be. I'd expect there would be other assets involved as well.

Well dammit tell them to stop that! Thank you.

More incentive.

I would think the Spurs get to a keep a pick unless they just want to unload a bad contract.

I thought up until now I've been rather unbiased about the Lakers. Maybe not?

Either way, it makes a lot more sense than the Spurs giving up 2 firsts to take Westbrook. lol

Ohh yeah, that was definitely a joke

Ingram is properly valued. Plus, the Pels have the draft capital to beat most other teams in a shorter time period.

The draft capital is a fine point. Ingram is no better than a second fiddle. He’s a right now player that right now isn’t good enough to lead a team that can compete. He’s a top 30-50 player. I think your tax point is moot. It looks like the way to get out of the tax won’t be seen in a KD move but in cutting Westbrook in a Kyrie deal. That’s there for them if there priority is getting out of the tax.

I think if I had to bet on Maxey or Ingram ever bein all NBA my money would go on Ingram.

How much more growth do you project in Ingram?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Spurs are giving up 2 firsts for Russ?

Gotta be the Lakers.

Still, Doesn't work because the Spurs don't have enough cap to absorb Westbrook.

They would need to send out salary.

Also doesn't work because what do the Spurs get for eating the contract?

If the two first rounders go to the Nets for Kyrie, the Spurs are taking Westbrook out of the kindness of their heart?

Yeah, love Maxey.

Ingram is better.

BKN gets a couple picks. They don't need to unload Harris unless they see it as a bad contract. SA throws in McDermott for future cap relief
