That's awesome!

But prove yourself how exactly? Do you have to go around interviewing as many players as you can or something?

I predicted GT would eventually make it on the Lakers staff one day.

We're taking big steps here now!

Congrats.

I think your points about how the Lakers should spend part of the 2 max on re-signing KCP/Brook on large deals is very interesting. I tend to agree with that as I'm really not eager to re-sign KCP on something like a 4 year/20m deal.

If PG13 agreed to come here solo, would you be ok with something like:

PG13-max
KCP-16m/4 years (take it or leave it bud)
Brook-12m/4 years
Randle-12.5m cap hold (re-sign to whatever is FMV)?

I think that's like my 3rd or 4th choice to do that. Getting a bunch of smaller carat players (i.e. 2 2 carat diamonds instead of 1 5 carat LBJ).



I have this question an am looking for the right place to ask.

Lets say the Lakers are able to create room for signing two max contracts. If they are not afraid of paying luxury tax can they sign KCP, Brooks and/or Randle even if it puts them over the cap and will have to pay luxury tax?

Is there no way we can also have -39mil in cap space as the warriors have as shown here http://www.spotrac.com/nba/cap/

No. B/c KCP/Brook/Randle all independently take up cap space with their "cap holds." So you can't have the 2 max space if you still have the cap holds on paper. You would have to renounce them to have the 2 max in the first place and now you can only re-sign renounced players with actual cap space remaining or exceptions.

Prove that I'm not a jackass and that me having access adds value to the Lakers organization.


Wow.

Why wow?


LOL, was trying to reply to the initial quote...like WOW (it's great!).

You know I've predicted that you will eventually be a part of the Lakers organization. Just one step closer!

Haha, I think my future is on the media side of things, but my goal in this was to become a Professional Lakers Fan, and I feel like I'm on that path so I'm definitely excited.


Be careful, you may keep messing around and they offer you a job on the coaching/video staff.

So happy for you since I knew you before you blew up!
