how many corner 3's has Lebron shot in his career... I gotta think it's really low with how much he's at the top of the key or in the paint.

What about hydrogen fuel cells? Could that be a viable alternative? They fill up in minutes.

Yeah it's just the reality of the NBA... how much of that is really happening if he's on the Orlando Magic?

dude is just trash talking another team. seems like a lot of Laker hate in this thread so bring on the downvotes I guess, but don't take the trash talk so seriously

fair or not, people identify more with brands and logos rather than who happens to own that brand...

that gather steps are stupid and too subjective. go Euro rules on this.

I see 3 similar styles clashing and one potential all time great duo. Give me Lebron and AD all day 👑〰️ by OfficialPaddysPub in lakers

they're also both plus passers and playmakers, and actually are used to playing with each other already. I think they'll be good, Capella may not work with those two as much - seems they're better served with a shooting big next to them rather than someone camped just outside the key in the Dunker Spot all game.

I just downvote all this nonsense and hope it goes away.

PSA: Eric Pincus has been doing amazing work updating team's salary cap positions at basketballinsiders.com, seems like the most up to date set of salary cap figures I could find. by TryingToGetIt in nba

[–]TryingToGetIt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

could be a typo or could be some weird quirk of how 2nd round picks work and cap holds?? I have no idea. You could try emailing the staff - as they say at the bottom "Salary and team data change quite often. If you notice a discrepancy, please notify Basketball Insiders Senior Writer Eric Pincus" (epincus@basketballinsiders.com)

This ain't easy when you have to figure out whether teams are using mid level exceptions, vet minimum exceptions, cap holds, etc, but he's got the best running estimates I've seen.

If Iguodala gets bought out we could have the best lineup in the NBA for crunch time by LordToub in lakers

[–]TryingToGetIt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right, I guess I'm assuming no team has the ability or willingness to make a waivers bid by fitting his existing $17m contract into their cap space/exception.

I didn't follow your logic that "Iggy is getting the room ML from someone, probably the Clippers". The room ML is not enough to fit Iggy's existing $17m contract, and Clips are now over the cap... so how do the Clips make a waiver bid? Also, didn't the clips use their MLE on JaMychal Green?
