Kemba's cap old of 18 million is very enticing. You could trade for him and still sign a max guy if Ingram and Ball are both moved (not saying I'd trade 2 for 1, it's just feasible if both their deals are moved).

And this, my friend, is why Walker is a zillion times more valuable to the Lakers than are Beal and Lillard. You get it.


Yeah. I think I brought up Kemba's 18m cap hold a few weeks ago too. But I still think it's not 100% coincidental they cleared 38m in cap space (as opposed to 32m which is what KL/Klay can get).

It 100% isn’t coincidental. I’m with you. I’m emboldened by this lack of coincidence. I believe it (Durant) will happen, so much so that I’m willing to dump Ball and Ingram (now) to begin building a superior team around him.

Pretty damn good team. This of course closes the window for KD or KL, but that's assuming there was a window in the first place.

Or you can get Kemba, then keep the window for KD/KL still open for this summer. Both are good option.

Kupchak has ZERO motivation to trade Walker, who’s developing a cult-like following in Charlotte, for Lonzo Ball. Zero chance of Kupchak agreeing to your trade.

Matter of fact, they may. It even bite on Ball and Ingram. The Lakers only hope is that Charlotte buys into the idea of Ingram being from Carolina and Walker costing them too much money in free agency.

If Charlotte doesn’t care about Ingram’s roots and they don’t care about paying him max money, they could very well pass on a Ball + Ingram offer.

Ball alone, though, has no chance sir.


I agree with Lonzo not being an appealing asset to Charlotte. To go from Kemba (high scoring exceptional ball handling/attack game) to Lonzo would be quite the transition for them. I would think they value BI more.

I don't see KD/Warriors being a long term thing.

He clearly is sensitive to the Warriors fan base not being as high on him as the original 3 guys. He will probably win a ring this year and then bounce to try to prove he was the reason for the last 3 rings.

This was such a non-story. Disappointing

Agreed. It may not be the Lakers but I definitely see him leaving, and this incident did nothing to influence my sentiments.

I do, however, believe that his teammates intuitively know that he will probably leave, especially Draymond Green.

Ingram’s game is really only appealing when he’s handling the ball.

Didn’t he play his absolute best when he was the point guard (last year)?

He’s a B-level Giannis. As a supporting player, where he’s asked to compliment other guys by hitting jumpers, his value is just not that high.

I'm just going to say, I think Durant is coming to save the day!

I could be wrong, but that's my quess.

KL to the Clippers or he stays in Toronto, they could legit go to the finals.

Imagine that Toronto takes GS 7 games in the finals, and then KL bolts for LA Clippers. I would totally not be surprised.

I think Warriors dismantle the Raptors if they get to the Finals.

Warriors are on cruise control and are getting nippy with each other. And you throw in Boogie who may be able to contribute by the Finals.

Hornets if they extend walker to 5 years 190 million would be over the tax threshold next year.

They have a tough choice.

They should rebuild rather than re-sign him and fight for a 8-10 seed every year.

No, not all teams are looking to win championship. Most owners like any business want to make money.

Fighting for playoffs means team is competitive and ticket sale is good. Plus add whatever money they make from playoffs.

Rebuild means empty arena and no $$$

Muy importante. I’d also add that their roster may (or may not) be stuck in mediocrity.

you think anyone there cares about a middling playoff contender in the East? NC is football country and college hoops country. They lost an NBA team at one point.

Just saying an average team there isn't exactly exciting.

U r making my point. If average team is not exciting then who is coming to watch a tanking team? Nobody

But MJ is cheap. After the Batum experiment, he may be leery of paying nearly 200m to Kemba. He'll get his money regardless thanks to revenue sharing.

Objectively speaking, if I’m Charlotte, I don’t trade him for just Ingram (and filler).

If I’m Charlotte, I’d rather pay him, dump some salary to get under the threshold, and take my chances.

For Charlotte, Walker for just Ingram (and filler) is a bad look ... unless Walker causes a disturbance or asks to be traded.

I did actually catch a game in Charlotte once. Nice stadium but yeah, it's pretty sad. It's a football/college basketball town. Hornets are such a low priority there.

Bottom line: none of these guys are on the market right now. The one guy on the market was moved in Butler.

I try and take a big picture view. Lakers are 7-6, 13 games into the year is nothing. Let's see where they are mid January. They have 38 million dollars in cap space and young guys on rookie deals who are tradeable. Plus all their first round picks retained.

I think they're in a solid position.

He is very stingy man. And my point is he probably regrets that move and when it comes to Kemba, he IMO will be in NY most likely or LA. He's a FA.

Now, if we hit the lottery and sign KD, can we then trade for Kemba next yr with a matching salary going out? even if it puts us over cap?


If they add a 30% Max (Leonard?) this summer (2019), then Ingram could be pushed even lower on the totem pole and it would make it much more difficult to justify him getting a large contract in summer 2020. If he isn't going to be worthy of a large contract in summer 2020, then his value in a trade to Charlotte during the 2019 - 20 season will be low.


86. How do simultaneous trades work? How much salary can a team take back in a simultaneous trade?

Quote:

Non-Taxpaying Teams
Outgoing salary....................Maximum incoming salary
$0 to $6,533,333.................175% of the outgoing salary, plus $100,000
$6,533,334 to $19.6 million...The outgoing salary plus $5 million
$19.6 million and up...........125% of the outgoing salary, plus $100,000



Here is a table with a range of possible 2019 - 20 salaries for Walker.

Walker Salary......Subtract.....Intermediate Number....Divide By......Needed Outgoing Salary for LA

$32,700,000.......$100,000.........$32,600,000..................1.25......................$26,080,000

$30,000,000.......$100,000.........$29,900,000..................1.25......................$23,920,000

$28,000,000.......$100,000.........$27,900,000..................1.25.....................$22,320,000

$26,000,000.......$100,000.........$25,900,000..................1.25.....................$20,720,000
