And the details:





Given Kobe's health history, this is your likely starting guard for most of the season paired with Russell and Clarkson

So something else must be going out in the Hibbert deal. Maybe Swaggy. Maybe Sacre and Kelly. My guess is Swaggy.

Maybe. Eric Pincus crunched the #s a few seconds ago. The cap may go up to 69 mil, so LA can afford him straight up. But if it stays at 67 mil, the team needs to shed a couple mil to fit him

My guess is Swag will go next. Johnson is being courted by Atlanta. Sacre is already under contract. Kelly will have to re-sign. He was on a one-year deal last year.

Oh yeah, forgot about that possibility. They'd have just enough room then.

Swaggy P and Louv Williams? We'll have the highest scoring bench in the Association.

With addition of Lou Williams, that pretty much assures Swaggy is done. Kelly is the only guy that may return.

Maybe the Pacers and Lakers worked out something to get more cap space to sign Williams. Maybe? Won't know for a couple of days.

Kelly is already signed. Same with Sacre.

Thanks for the update lakersule. We shall see what happens to Swag. Things are getting a tad crowded.

I don't think Swaggy has to go. The Hibbert details haven't been completely worked out yet.

If Swaggy can keep his shit together he can still be a valuable asset.

Just wondering if we're going to get a PF? We'd be leaving a huge gap open in that position with both Davis and Boozer gone.

Kelly is already signed and Tariq Black will probably take over Boozer's rotation. Maybe Hill will return. I haven't seen anything of Boozer signing with the Heat yet. Perhaps he'll be back.

Also, just read this:


Could this help with the cap in any way?

I also keep forgetting about Jabari Brown who could be a pretty good player too.

So that's the guards sorted for next season then: Russell, Clarkson, Kobe, Lou Williams, and Brown.

I like the Williams signing our guard depth is very good now. If Kobe goes down, we can absorb it better this year.

No. Maybe the Lakers could get Dallas' 2018 first rounder though.

I agree. Anytime Cuban is involved, I want the Lakers to get as much as they can from that colossal asshole any way they can and let him believe he is getting a good deal.

Wouldn't be such a bad thing getting another first rounder out of Lin. Dallas traded their 2016 first rounder to Boston for Rondo. 2018 would be the next one that they could trade.
