IMO unless the third max player is Kawhi, we’re better off signing a few quality role players instead. Especially if the third max is going to be someone like Kemba. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Given the names that have been suggested, 3rd star.
The effective output of three 8-10 mil guys is probably not far off from the effective output from guys you can get using the vet min. Just depends on the type of player.
Young LeBron's never won a Championship without a 3rd all-star.
I don't expect old LeBron to be able to.
But we don't have anywhere near enough to sign a 3rd max unless we wait all the way till august to do the trade. Rather than July 6th. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Depth. Championship teams have depth and chemistry to survive the season and deep playoff runs.
Those 5,6,7,8 guys provide the support needed. Especially when both Davis and James need to keep mpg down and take nights off.
In this case, quality counts. Lakers need a quality impactful bench much more then they need a 3rd All Star with a bench comprised of g- leaguers and marginal vet mins.
Guys I’d like
Derrick Rose
Pat Beverley
Rajon Rondo
Terrance Ross
KCP
Trevor Ariza
Gerald Green
Javale McGee
Brook Lopez
Nikola Miritic
Ersan Illysova
Ricky Rubio
Andre Igudola

If we get Kyrie or Kawhi, Ariza will come here for the vet min, I also like Gerald Green as a floor spacer on the cheap.

That is the fear, signing the walking dead. Guys are cheap because they are done and not wanted. Let’s shoot for guys closer to their primes. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

I'll take either
Both options are a luxury.
In what sense is it a luxury? I thought we're trying to win a chip.
adding a lot of talent to two top tier players, is a luxury.
Raps just won with 1 top tier guy, and 4 inconsistent guys.
1) They came out of the Eastern Conference.
2) They're the exception, not the rule.
3) They had Kawhi. We have a long in the tooth Bron. Who has a history of only winning 1 way (with 2 other all stars), even when he was in his physical prime. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

Not to be that guy, but how much would DLO cost? If Kyrie goes to the Nets, could be man him for 17-20 M and still have some space left over?
There has to be some GM out there who is dumb enough to max him, so I doubt we get him for less than the max. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Kawhi, maybe Kyrie. Butler if he shot a little better at 3 and/or a little younger. Kemba if he was a little better defender. Otherwise just use the cap space in a smart team building way IE get 3 and D players. _________________ (bleep) Kawhi
