So this off-season has been a bust, but that's ok...

I need cap experts, but by my count, next season, we'd only have a combined ~15 million on the books (please check that). If the cap is $67 million (conservative, could be $69 million), we have over 50 million in cap space (with cap holds, etc.)

Basically, let's start the Durant and CP3 pipedream.

CP3
Russell
Durant
Randle

Clarkson as the 6th man.

I guess Kobe could come back too.

Let's go.

Why do we need CP3 is Russell is Magic/Curry combined?

CP3 wouldn't come and as stated the Lakers won't need him. They have two point guards (granted both can play SG) at the moment.

They'll need a C and an SF.

In 2016 the cap is expected to be at $90 million actually not $69 million. However with the new cap increases so does max salary. Kevin Durant is probably going to take around 30 million of the cap not exactly sure on his number. Either way we will have a lot of cap space even if we spend some this offseason.

Oh and CP3 isn't a free agent till 2017 at the earliest.

My thoughts too... You'd think after a free agency where "stars" not "superstars" wouldn't take our money, that folks would learn smh.

Hahahahaha.

Why would we want an injury prone, on his last leg CP3. Hello Steve Nash.

We struck out on: (I don't count LBJ cus we never had a shot, nobody did, only the crybaby owner from Cleveland)

D Howard: Useless bigman. Loser prim donna that cannot lead and likes underage women
Carmelo: No defense, all offense and cannot lead let alone lead his wife
D Jordan: A stud on defense. Nothing else.
Aldridge: Yet to be seen. Good all around player, but already 30 and should be on the downside.

All these guys we have been lucky not to sign. All B Talent, and we would be paying the max and strapped for cash.

Lets not panic, and let our high potential young core develop. Once they show what they can do (and no disrespect to the great KB24, but also once he leaves, Mr I am #1 option at 40 years old), free agents will be flocking to come here.

Pass on CP3... he only has a few years left of top play in him. By the time we can realistically get him Russel and Clarkson should be better.

Lakers sign Kevin Durant and Mike Conley in the offseason. Trade Randle and Russell for Demarcus Cousins.

Conley, Clarkson, Durant, Bass, Cousins

Another option is get Durant and Conley. Resign Hibbert with bird rights.

Guards: Conley, Russell, Clarkson
SF: Durant
PF: Randle, Bass
C: Hibbert
