In ur dream scenario who plays PF (Kuz because Jr is gone?) and where would BI play? |
Why would Randle have to go anywhere? |
cap space especially if we have to stretch Deng, and Clarkson is goner too. |

Cap space wouldn't be an issue in this scenario.
If George is the only major free agent acquisition then Clarkson, Randle, and Lopez can all be retained, Deng can be stretched, and there may even still be some cap space to spare at the end.
Don't forget we have bird rights to both Randle and Lopez so we can exceed to the salary cap to retain them, but even that wouldn't be necessary. |

We have cap space to sign George with those players here. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Not a 2nd max slot we don't if we want a second one at least 2 of them have to be gone even all three of them. |

Yeah, but the Lakers have something bigger in mind they want a 2nd max player too. |

With 7-9 year vets (PG13/Boogie) we can keep one of jules/JC.
With LBJ + one of PG13/Boogie, unless we trade Deng outright (and renounce/trade Jules or JC), can possibly keep one. Jules could take the QO and then we could keep him in either scenario. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Don’t change the narrative, the post quoted said we sign George. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Best thing to happen to the Lakers is Okc getting Melo. That will ensure PG13 comes home |

Or use the money on something else that is not JR/JC. Still might move them both to sign better role players after George and Cousins or whatever. |

I’m a fan of holding onto Deng because in his final season he becomes an expiring asset. Just look at how Monroe and a first got a legit player in Bledsoe. So I would be a fan of the Lakers getting an expiring and a first for both Randle and Clarkson. I think Clarkson at least could net it at the trade deadline. The two firsts become cost controlled players. Frankly try to get them to give a pick the same year Deng expires. Then the Lakers have 2 1sts. Get a solid amount of cap to get two maxes. And in 2 seasons when bronze grows old they have assets to be a bidder for whoever would be on the market that season. _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please
I would be willing to pay you for it. |
