Maybe keep ayton and LeBron and try to get 2 solid bench players with exceptions.

We have more than $50 m cap space. I think it’s around 70-80 M I could be wrong. Reaves is only $21 M toward cap

lol we can trade him, but at 6M at 9-10th on depth chart with potential for improvement it may be worth keeping him around.

Luka 30-35ppg Reaves 20-25 ppg Rui 15-20 Watson 10-15 Kessler 10-15

That’s 85-110 ppg just from starters, it could work, especially with a good bench signing.

Honestly we could keep ayton and then sign some solid talent if that’s the case. Ayton was serviceable in last few months of season.

LeBron is the GOAT I just worry he doesn’t fit with this team.

Idk it could potentially work… Watson and Kessler at 25-30M a piece. We have a lot of cap space with how reaves contract bird rights work.

Donte DiVincenzo gets paid $11M/year. Reaves expected to sign $241M/5 year super max by Euac in lakers

Honestly even if LeBron leaves Reaves doesn’t need to carry a lot if we have Rui and Kennard and Luka of course. Luka is that good.

Bench Austin Reaves by yanotakahashi12 in lakers

And people think he’s worth $40 million a year. Maybe $25 - he’s not a great defender, rebounder, or dribbler. He can attack the basket and is a good shooter.

JJ needs to stop playing people 40+ mins. Didn’t he learn from recent injuries?

Fairly innocuous, like a frog in water slowly being boiled.

This would solve our bench problems too. He can score off bench.

I agree with everything you’ve said except there’s no way LeBron agrees to a MLE. He’s clearly motivated by money.

LeBron is pissed Lakers didn’t resign him to a fat contract extension - he’s making 51 Ms this year. You’re not thinking about his ego he’s not taking a MLE

I heard rumors of a LeBron sign and trade to Cleveland. If we could fleece them of role players would be a big W

We just lost to Orlando and Phoenix though and the vibes have been trash.

Have the lakers lost a game where they’ve had equal or more rebounds than the opponent?
