sounds like bill

 

[peternorth]

sounds like bill

i like bill.

im thinking and guessing however in a month or so time he will declare not getting AD as a boston win

 

[The King!]

i like his show too, just some of his takes are bias,but still a good listen

 

[The King!]

so lakers ideally need the trade to be done late July for cap space is that correct?

 

[peternorth]

D Russell to the lakers? If i were him i wouldnt go to LAL. Going back to LaL after being traded (with mozgov) to the Nets for Brook Lopez and draft pick that turned into Kuzma? Kinda a slap in the face.

I hope DLo comes back. I bought his jersey for my son and I want some value

July 30 for max cap space of $32 million.

If it's done July 6, the trade wage disparity (roughly $4.5 million) and Davis's $4 million trade kicker will be absorbed into the Lakers' cap space, leaving them with less than $24 million space.

The actual trade wage disparity of the trade is down to the base salary of the #4 pick, which only becomes active on July 30.

And the best part is... we have absolutely no incentive to help them by doing the deal on July 30. In fact it's against our interests.

Still don’t think lakers will win the title.

Kawhi would not be a waste on any team, including the Lakers.

Obviously he's a superstar and any team would want him but it's a waste to have him just sitting in the corner not getting much ball. I mean you could use him for that but I'd hope he got the KD level hate if he signed up.

LeBron will run the offence, AD will play 5. Kawhi would end up like CP3 at Houston, just not being used enough. And he'd still dominate...

Kawhi and Kyrie vs LeBron and AD vs Steph and Klay after a year. Would be epic.

He'd still get plenty of shots, would be a deadly off-ball shooter, would lessen the playmaking load on LeBron, help cover for LeBron defensively and ensure LeBron seeing his minutes and overall workload dramatically slashed.

I don't want to see it, but Kawhi would fit the Lakers (or basically any team) like a glove. Hope he stays in Toronto though.

Is there any way CP3 gets to the Lakers with a trade? Or is it pretty much impossible given the Lakers just traded most of their assets?

 

[Primetime Pricey]

LaMelo Ball playing for Illawara... LOL.

It wouldn't take many assets to get Paul. That contract is horrendous

 

[DangerSloane]

I didnt realise how those contracts work.

The player applies to the league to be part of the 'future stars' program and the league places them with a team.


Thats about the worst they can get.

That is really dodgy isnt it?

How could they make a trade work salary wise? Genuine question btw, apologies if it's a silly one!

LaVar is a wanka chants will go viral.

Pelicans are monitoring bradley beal for a potential trade.

 

[DangerSloane]

Lonzo / Beal / Zion / Randle and a role player makes a decent lineup.

 

[DangerSloane]

I dont know.
Sort of, but sorta not.

Means they wont just always sign with Sydney Kings or Melbourne United.

In reality they aint here to win championships and MVPs. It shouldnt matter what system they go to.
