With Lebron on the floor, Lonzo being off the ball hurts the floor spacing on offense. There aren't many people you could replace him with that would make it worse. Rondo is one.

Yep.  Same reason they got Stephenson and KCP.  In anticipation of trading Ball, Ingram and ??? to the Spurs for Kawhi.

No possible way the Spurs take Ball.

Am I forgetting somebody,  or would ball and rondo be the best point guards Lebron has played with?  Wade i guess counts.

I'm firmly in the Jordan GOAT camp, buuuut, if they don't land another superstar, or that superstar is lane clogger Boogie, and Lebron can drag this dumpster fire to the Finals, I'm ready to eat crow like a mofo.

8.4m MLE for a 1 year prove it deal. Boogie won't be cleared to play until at least January, so it kind of makes sense. 

Gotta think the Cans would offer more to stay having his Bird rights...

There is absolutely no chance this Lakers roster is getting to the finals over the Warriors.

I do find it fascinating how many low IQ guys--or guys with high IQ that are just nut cases--find their way to LeBron's teams. I'm thinking that he really, really likes the "carrying his team on his own" narrative.....and just maybe he likes the built in "well, of course he lost, look at his teammates" excuse as well.

how come LA doesn't have cap space for Cousins? Didn't they just gut their roster and only have Bron with big $$? 

Luol Deng makes 18m.. Unless they move that contract they have no space.

I think the Lakers f/o is lining up to do at least one major trade this summer. Deng/Lonzo package for cap room, maybe sign Cousins and still make a play for Kawhi with Ingram and Kuzma and if it falls through they will still have cap room for Kawhi next summer.

I think same thing.. They are gonna package all the expiring contracts with a young stud for a guy with 2/3 years left on contract so a team can free up the books and get a young talent at same time. 

 

Either that or they are a dumpster fire in the making.

This Lakers team feels like a Lebron team but without the other two stars.  Vets with “something to prove” on short term contracts...  waiting for the big trade for an established star.

This team will be fun as hell....can’t win anything as currently constructed but fun as hell...

they renounced Randle so how does that help the cap?

Lakers have $5.6 million in cap space left. If they trade Deng, can open up to $22.8 million in space. They already used Room EXP on Lance.

if GS is like half a billion $$ over the cap, i'm sure the Lakers can afford all the luxury tax. 

That's not how it works. You can't just decide to go over and sign whomever. You can go over to sign your own guys.

Yep..... lonzo for boogie or 3 way trade???  Randle for Rondo basically thus far?  Major win for the Cans...

same.  i'd say 3rd in the west is a tossup with them and the jazz.  lakers/thunder follow.

as of this moment of course.  these lakers moves feel so weird that i have to believe something else is coming.

Nerlens Noel to the Thunder.  If any players in the history of the league first with the Thunder, it's Nerlens Noel.  

At some point, both him and Roberson will be on the floor at the same time.
