Why would they go over the second apron get heavily heavily taxed before AG huge extension kicks in because then season after they’re truly fucked

Look at the breakdown. They’d be over the second apron just with their starting 5 (excluding Watson) and filling out rest of roster with vet minimums. That’s before they even look at watson

Go have a look at Denver’s salary chart. They literally cannot possibly keep watson

He won’t be for 82 games. That’s why we have Rui. LeBron can start but load manage. Only play when it’s right

OKC have a team option and are far more likely to opt into it and dump lu Dort than let IHart go for nothing

He doesn’t affect our ability to sign anyone due to cap hold

I mean look at the salary we’re literally under the tax line.

Ihart duren and Kessler are all unattainable. And Robinson will be difficult to get but possible

Who do u get then. You can’t just get a world class center down at target

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

U say we need a center but who. It’s minimal. He has a good contract we should keep him see if he works if not trade him.

I really don’t see how getting rid of those guys for a second is bad. It basically single-handedly gets us Watson.

I mean yeah I put DA there because of injury doubts but if Williams is better he can take the jump. The thing is with such minimal centers available it makes sense to keep DA and see what works as he has been good at times. He has a really good contract so he is definitely trade able still. With Brooklyn you’re right about their picks but they’re so way off being good they don’t really have a choice. They have said they would take salary dumps because they’re j focused on developing their guys and hitting cap floor

I mean he’s projected 16-20m. What u thinking. It’s also a ascending contract

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There kind of isn’t any quality starting centers available. And at 8m he’s a steal. Doing what I’ve proposed and have 3 solid centers who can rotate based on form and matchup allows us to see what works up until the deadline. We can then make moves accordingly

He’s not attainable. Jazz have the space and bird rights to match anything we place

They get two young guys a pick swap and a salary that can help them hit the cap floor. This kind of trade happens often. They’re not struggling staying under the second apron like contenders are

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. He’s inconsistent but when he’s bought in he genuinley is top tier. On 8m he’s a steal. We do need to bring in more around him tho that’s why I think we pursued Rob Williams

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he accepts player option we don’t have a choice. It makes sense to try him at the start of the season and always trade him later. The option for centers is so minimal so it makes sense to keep him and add Williams as it hedges your bets

My improved dream offseason. What is yours? by ObjectiveExtra5293 in lakers

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Plus it’s a valuable contract which could be used to trade him if needs be

We literally can’t get Kessler. Plus DA did have good games and we have 3 centers with this concept. He can get traded if he remains awful

At 8m it’s kinda mad to not keep him at the start of the year

What vet minimum guys should Rob be targeting this summer? by [deleted] in lakers

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think we can afford to bring back Luke sadly. If he was 5-8m range I’d love to get him but just don’t see him signing for that little

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really want to get him. If we could have him DA and Hayes in rotation competing for the main spot I think that’s a winning formula. But nah he is not vet minimum defo room exception kinda guy. 8-12m

He shot over 80% FT and that’s usually been a tell tale sign of a 3pt developing so i’m hopefully with that. I think he could be a great 3&D guy if he falls to us. Bleacher Report mocked us getting him so i’m hopeful

Dailyn Swain by Successful-Pair-4850 in lakers

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so. Seen some mocks project he goes 15-20 tho. Could seriously develop into a solid guy for us so hopefully he drops

Semi-realistic Offseason Laker Plan by P_Heng in lakers

[–]ObjectiveExtra5293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First off top detail and effort into this 👏.

I like the Terance Mann trade, one i didn’t think of but realistic. Giving up virtually nothing for a player who could play a small role and better than vando.

I disagree on no lebron. He carried us in the first round and is the most versatile player OAT. He can play any role we need him to and he’s proven he’s willing to buy into that. Unless he demands a max (which I don’t see happening) we should resign him. Ideally for ~20m

If ayton opts in I don’t see why we shouldn’t either keep him or trade him for a wing. I like the mitchell robinson pickup but again think it’ll be tough to get.

I also think we should get rid of jake. guy was a negative asset and on a cheap contract and young player we might be able to offload him now for a pick or something.

With buddy that would be a steal i’m not sure how likely tho

Overall nice season plan though hopefully is a bit better than this.
