Isn't mathematically the answer is yes?


My point was that the Mavs have picked up the sloppy leftovers from teams that are star building. If we get our 2 max, maybe it can happen too.

Calling it now that the Mavs offer Randle the same deal that Nerlens Noel turned down — four years 70 mill.

Trade Clarkson for a late 1st.

Trade Deng and Zubac plus 1-2 firsts.

Sign Boogie and Paul George.

Go over the cap to extend Randle beyond his 12m cap hold.

Use room exception and vet mins on shooters (Bellinelli, Ilyasova).

It will be interesting to see what the free agent market holds for guys like Bellinelli, Ilyasova. They each made about $6 million this year. They might not get that in a tight market, but it's hard to imagine either guy being available for the minimum. The room exception may be enough to get one of them, but it's hard to predict what kind of offers bigs and shooters will get, especially when they are good enough to be rotation players on good teams.

That's a reasonable prediction. For present purposes, I'll just say that I think he'll get offered more than his cap hold.

Only if we trade 2-3 first round picks to dump Deng there are none to trade for AD.

The market will be better for Bellinelli than Ilyasova.

Agree with you on the above, though.

I think Bellinelli could be had for the room exception.

Getting Ilyasova for the minimum probably only happens if we get 2 stars and our team is looking good and interesting -- but Ilyasova probably only comes if we lose one of Nance or Randle.

Maybe. The room is going to be $4.5 million and it can only be used for two years. That's probably the minimum deal Bellinelli would want. He might be available for that, but I think we'd in competition with other contending teams that would offer the same deal to him.

I don't see Ilyasova signing for the minimum. He's a 30-year-old center with point range who is capable of starting for a lot of teams. I'd suspect some team would throw their room exception at him

So it could happen. It's just a pretty optimistic scernario.

I think our odds of signing LeBron are infinitesimal at best. Paul George I do think we have a good shot at, and I'm wondering if it might be best to just sign him + acquire a PG to go alongside Lonzo + keep Julius + stretch Deng + trade JC for some shooters.

Lonzo
Collison
PG
Kooz
Randle

Hart
Bellineli
BI
Babbit
Zubat

Maybe even have money to spare after that too, IDK.

Do you guys think a roster like that - keeping in mind we are retaining our draft picks - is preferable to PG + Cousins?


As others have said, Collison isn't a free agent. But let's say we get him for the heck of it. I'd say it's a OK roster. I wouldn't consider it a for-sure playoff team in the west.

A lot depends on how Ball, Ingram and Kuz develop. Overall, after all the hoopla of the pending off season, if that's the team we end up with it would be anti-climatic.

Stretching him means losing Randle.

So, just to recap: Kuzma won’t be traded because they’d rather have him than Randle. If the draft picks don’t work in trading Deng, then you stretch Deng and lose Randle.

Or, Phil, you can happily keep your draft picks, stretch Deng, and just let Randle walk in favor of your draft picks.

I’d rather have Randle than the draft picks personally, so I’d rather trade picks and Nance with Deng if possible.

Hope that makes sense.

Please stop with the trade Kuzma foolery and the Magic is a stunted buffoon innuendo. Trust me, the only people talking of trading Kuzma with Deng are you spit wads.

You don’t have to justify your non-adherence to signing two max guys by painting Magic as some doofus who will trade his life away to make it happen at any at all cost.

If teams play hardball with the Lakers in trading for Deng, the casualty will be Randle NOT KUZMA.


Thank you for setting these posters straight. Magic aint stupid and they’re not trading Kuzma. Just an FYI...lebronz is not coming here. I do see us signing boogie. Why do we need pg if we have bi and Kuzma?

Yes, which is why Randle’s could do the Lakers favor by letting them know about the offer before he actually signs it.

If Randle tells the Lakers he has a deal for 17 mill a year that he hasn’t quite signed yet, they can tell him that they won’t match because it’s too high or they could tell him they will match, but to, as a favor, not sign the offer sheet with Dallas so the caphold remains at 12 mill, while they acquire other pieces, as opposed to the 17 mill caphold that’d exist if Randle signs an offer sheet early, before the Lakers can prepare.

It could be seen as a huge risk by Randle though, because RANdle would essentially be banking on a promise from the LAKers to pay the same amount as his original offer from Dallas when the LAKers would not be bounded to do that — they could renege. That’d be bad business and probably very unlikely, but still risky for Randle when you’re talking about 70 million dollars.

Because George improves the defense (he can guard 2-4), which means you can pencil him in at Pope’s current SG spot, and the team is demonstrably better on offense with him as well.

George is a no-brainer, even if he’s forced to play “slightly” out of position (but not really) at SG.

Is there a SG that you think would give George trouble?

Yes. Technically, we wouldn't be renouncing him at that point, but that's a distinction without a meaningful difference. As I think you are anticipating, there could be some gamesmanship by other teams here. They could start the two-day clock while we are still waiting on a decision from the free agents.

Probably not, but I’m a believer in “gray-area” when it comes to things being legal or illegal.

Has there ever been a team with uber-capspace to spend on free agents in a summer while simultaneously having to retain a restricted free agent that same summer? I don’t know.

Now teams can negotiate with RFAs during the moratorium so they can provide an offer sheet in the first minute of free agency. Meanwhile teams can’t negotiate with UFAs until the moratorium is over.

The Lakers have jerked Randle around and I don't see him bending over backwards to do them a favor. Heck, for all we know he'd be just as happy going to a new team. But I don't see him waiting around for the Lakers.

Right now the Lakers situation is so fluid -- they don't know what free agents they'll be able to get, and who they might have to let go to create the space. Randle knows he's not #1 in their plans, and he may not end up in their plans at all, so it's hard to imagine his focus won't be totally on what's best for him.

Yep, and staying in L.A., getting paid (the same he would have elsewhere), competing for rings, playing with James may all be what’s “best for him”.

No one is asking him to actually take a paycut. Only allowing the Lakers the opportunity to give Randle the opportunity to play with LeBron James. Hell, tell James to call him personally and ask him to bring the offer back to Magic before signing it.

For Randle, for him not to do that would mean he simply can’t trust the Lakers at their word, and that’d be unfortunate.

I believe that if Randle had an offer from Dallas for 15 mill/yr, told Magic before signing it, then Magic agrees to match it if Randle waits til they finish shopping, I’d believe Magic.

Here’s hoping the glass is half full.

How would this work from Dallas' point of view?

1) Dallas tells Randle they will offer him $15 mil a year.
2) Randle tells Magic about the impending offer from Dallas
3) Magic tells Randle not to sign that deal yet, sign it later and the Lakers promise to match
4) Randle tells Dallas to wait until the Lakers are done shopping then offer him that $15 mil deal.
5) Dallas agrees. They save their cap room indefinitely waiting for Randle.
6) Time passes, Lakers are done shopping. They tell Randle to go sign that Dallas deal
7) Randle tells Dallas to now offer him $15 mil. Dallas obliges.
8) Lakers match

What does Dallas get out of this?

nice gm work but you and I both know that team is not touching a healthy gstate team. not even close. might not even make it to the WCF's.

Boogie doesnt play a lot of defense. Randle can't really play defense on any powerful Big PF guys. so the only guys that these two can guard ore the face up guys and randle can help on pick and rolls well.

someone find me away to get me boogie, PG, and a bradley beale type. so atleast then we could compete with gstate in scoring.
