I think dumping Deng takes almost all costs probably anyone not named BI or Ball would get matched to send out Deng for picks or expiring, Kuzma included. Russell should be seen as a sign of things to come.

We don't need to dump Deng for the two max plan. We can stretch him. The only reason dump him would be to be able to keep Randle in addition to the two maxes. Trading Randle in order to dump Deng defeats its own purpose.

Same thing with Julius. If he plays well his year he stays IMO. They can move other pieces to sign two maxes if need be or stretch Deng


The thing about Boston is they waited till they had Hayward commit before making subsequent moves. Which is why the Lakers should hold on moving anyone (unless they get a deal that right away moves a contract like Deng's or Clarkson's without needing to give up any of the core) until a max free agent commits to them.

Because ultimately they're gonna have room for one max this off-season without needing to worry about moving anyone, it's the '2nd max' that's got people all flustered. To me they should focus on landing one max player first and then if that's accomplished THEN worry about who or who not to move.

Till then it's pointless to even plan for it like it's an absolute. Like Boston did, they waited till they got a commitment and THEN made moves to free up the space.

Plus. if they did try to attach Randle with Deng most teams won't bite on that because they wouldn't want to pay Deng's contract and give Randle his money when the time comes.

Russell wasn't a "dump" though. We got back an all-star center at 29 years old.

The thing is, you want max free agents to know that you have the possibility to sign 2 of them. Magic is trying to produce another situation like the Miami Heat, where these guys want to team up with each other. Having 2 spots open increases your chances of getting 1.

I think Magic understands that 1 star is unlikely to come here by his lonesome. It's either 2 stars or none IMO.

To go with our all star Deng.

Yes, putting the cart before the horse is always the solid move.

Lopez is a legit player that can help the process, we are in better situation than we were one year ago without any flexibility for sure.

We didn't make the trade only to end up maxing Brook.

It is a 2 max plan, Magic and Pelinka have stated it publicly many times.

What's the most they can offer Lopez after signing PG13 and Lebron?

Depends.

Is Deng traded for $0 (assuming JC/Jules aren't on the books either). If so, I think 10-11m. Bear in mind, Lakers have his full Bird rights so in 2019, could offer him more. Just a 1 year reprieve to get 2 max players.

No, I'm not entertaining the fantasy that Deng is traded for $0.

Bird rights waived, team is capped out, how much can offer on a one-year deal?

The problem is unloading Deng without taking back any salary in return, because I can see Lopez taking a big one year discount to play with LeBron.

This. He's logged enough years to get into some kind of exception, right, so he's not taking the league minimum?

Would be the room exception of around 4.5m.

Deng could be offloaded for 2 future 1sts (I'm not in favor of that). Future 1st + 2nd rounder(s) for Deng in 2018 (so only 2 years on deal)? Maybe.

Thank you. I hate to burden you again, but in terms of a raise in 2019, what could they do for him?

If Bird rights intact, can give him up to the max (which he won't get).

Different from an Early Bird right player, where IIRC, the most you could give is 175% from the year before.

No, I meant with his Bird rights renounced, and just him taking that $4.5m in 2018.

If LA were to maneuver to have a good 18-19 roster and a path to max in 19-20 I could still see a 1-star addition next July. Despite what he's said I could see George being that guy. If he doesn't sign the extension I could also see Westbrook being that guy. LeBron seems like a bit more of a stretch given his age, but who knows. A lot depends on how much of an impact Lonzo actually has early on. The unique thing for him is that you don't depend on him doing things on his own. He's more of a 3M kind of guy.

If you went max guys in successive years Deng would be an expiring so moving him would become less difficult and perhaps even serve as salary ballast.

You still would need to defer salary so other adjustments would need to be made. But I'm just saying I don't know that it's 2Max or none.

The room exception. They would have to renounce his app. $33 mil cap hold to have space to sign two max FAs.
