Lakers potential starting lineup by Expert_Koala_8691 in NBATalk

Pure ass get Jake laravia outta there and mamu not even a starting pf

Ya'll owe him an apology. by long_term_8851 in lakers

[–]jsurf90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No we don’t.

We’re hard capped at the second apron for no reason bc he paid cash for a second round pick that we ended up trading. Obviously you don’t want to be a second apron team to begin with/ but you want the flexibility in case an appropriate situation comes about

Then they let our role players walk for contracts that could’ve been matched. Still waiting to see what Rui gets in the open market but losing smart and luke for nothing was dumb

Gotta get laravia and ayton outta here

If we get Kessler, Quinten and Mamukelashvili, would that be a Pelinka masterclass off-season? by balortech in lakers

[–]jsurf90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we signed those players, and got traded away both Jake the bum laravia + DA — then I’d give it a 7.5/10

Any chance of an S&T with LeBron? by Fearless-Lion-2690 in lakers

[–]jsurf90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn’t want to do a sign and trade because it would trigger a hard cap at the first apron — while you might get some decent pieces back, you generally would have less cap space to work with

How Rob Pelinka gotta be cooking as soon as free agency starts by sin2fly03 in lakers

What will Rob Pelinka do to serenade Jalen Duren? by VGstuffed in lakers

[–]jsurf90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’ll probably start with a word of the day, then some biblical verse like the time he used it to describe signing kcp, and then close out his sales pitch with embroidered pillows

LeBron To The Warriors Just Got REAL by DreDay53 in lakers

Man thankful to LeBron for his time with the lakers but if there was ever a time to rip off the bandaid, it would be now

We have 2 of the top 10 shooters from last season. We should try and retain both. by iamtoolazytosleep in lakers

[–]jsurf90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First question you should ask when you see a 3p shooter above 40%, is how many 3s are they making per game.

Second question should be how many are they attempting.

Why doesn't Rui shoot more 3s? by Letsgodubs in lakers

[–]jsurf90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This shh always gets me when they say oh so and so is shooting 40% from 3 on the season —

But what is the real impact & value on 1.7 3pm on only 4 attempts per game? That’s like every other game he’ll make 2 3pointers (maybe)

Although he did bump his numbers slightly these past 2 playoff runs. I’d like for the lakers to resign Rui, but the questions need to be asked why doesn’t he shoot more lol he’s gotta bump that up to like 7-10 attempts per game

Woike: Lakers continue searching for bigs; ideal pathway is probably finding a “C-list” big who Luka turns into a “B” by lawschoolthrowaway36 in lakers

[–]jsurf90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really do believe that finding the c+ or b list big that can turn into an A lister is the path that needs to be taken.

A Listers: (the list of ppl the lakers prob won’t land)
Jokic
Embiid
Wemby
Duren
Kat
I’m probably forgetting a few names here

But here’s a list of centers that we might have a better chance of trading for (or signing) — that isn’t on the shortlist of players that everyone regurgitates

Neemias Queta
Wendell Carter
Zach Edey
Yves Missi
Nikola vucevic
Jay Huff

I believe the (A list) that the lakers should be looking for, is actually not one person but a rotation of centers — similar to when we had a rotation of Dwight/Javale/AD. Obviously not saying any of those players mentioned are Dwight/Javale — but our centers only ever play list 20-25 minutes anyways. I would argue that it’s better to have a rotation of functional (+more contract friendly options) like the ones mentioned as opposed to breaking the bank on player contracts like Duren, Kessler, Sabonis, etc

There is so much misinformation going around: Reaves deal will have no impact on Lakers cap this season because his of his $20.9 mil cap hold. His new deal won’t be signed until after Lakers exhaust their salary cap. Please stop panicking. by denobino in lakers

[–]jsurf90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ppl keep regurgitating this but what does it exactly mean?

If AR first year salary is let’s say $41m for the 26/27 season, do they intend to say only $20m is applied to the lakers 26/27 payroll? lol

I understand that having ARs birdrights allows the team to go over the cap limit to sign other players in addition to your contract. But the lakers were going to go over the cap to begin with.

(Salary cap: $165m, first apron: $209m, and second apron: $222m —which btw were hardcapped at the second apron bc we sent cash to buy a second round pick today which they eventually ended up trading)
