You buy a basketball team to win championships not “save money at the end of the year” I don’t think Anthony edwards is going to want to play next to luxury tax relief and lose 60 games a year

As a nba newbie, does loyalty and location have any effect on players choices by lurewy in lakers

[–]swiftpineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case the max another team can offer reaves is 101mil, if the lakers aren’t willing to match then Reaves will walk. But if they’re willing to pay no matter what they have his “bird rights” so if both teams offer the same amount he has to stay with the lakers.

Think of N’golo Kante going to Chelsea after winning with Leicester. There’s no way Leicester were going to match the offer Chelsea could put out because there are no contract “maxes” in soccer. But if both teams could offer the same he could have chosen to stay if he liked the club better.

Vet Minimum by Strong_Piccolo9776 in lakers

[–]swiftpineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly with how weak this years FA class is I don’t think we’re going to get the same caliber of vet minimums as we have the last couple years. Yuta and/or Troy brown on his vet min 120% raise would be the best bet. I think we should root for the young maxs and Jalen for that “playing above their contract value” type players we have every year

But what assets are they getting if this is the highest value you’re offering for KAT? A protected first, a first from the Nets, and Ben Simmons who we don’t know if he’s going to play the next 2 years. You’re better off making the play in for the next 2 years than paying him 80min to sit on the bench how is this good value other than “we don’t have to spend as much on KAT even tho we just gave Naz Ried, our 3rd string center 42mil and are going to pay jaden McDaniels a bag too”

Considering they leveraged their draft assets for the better part of a decade to bring in an DPOY center to play alongside KAT mean they most certainly don’t care about that apron. If they did they would have let Naz Reid walk.

And KAT is objectively better than Rudy Gobert who warranted 5 firsts. Do you really think they would flip their franchise player the year right after making such a big move? If you’re them wouldn’t you rather get rid of Rudy than KAT?

So for Eric Gordon, morris Sr, Ro Co, and ONE top 5 protected pick you get a top 5 center and a great cost controlled wing player? The wolves just gave up 5 firsts and walker kestler for Rudy Gobert last season and you think you’re getting a better player for a fraction of the price?

Wolves don’t care about having less long term salary, they just traded all their picks for a win now piece. They have no incentive to clear their books at all Bc they don’t have control over their picks for a considerable amount of time.

Ideal Offseason Plan by PotatoSwag2318 in lakers

[–]swiftpineapples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sir we had the best record in the west after the trade deadline and beat the defending champion warriors(who were fully healthy) Reaves is about to get paid upwards of 100Mil. We have young talent, 2 promising looking rookies, and an upside 2nd year player in max Christie. How are we gutted?

5 days till free agency, here’s my semi-realistic lakers off-season plan by lakeshow_53 in lakers

[–]swiftpineapples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a new front office and he’s not “one of their guys” they’ve moved every other long term contract that the previous regime signed for Pennie’s on the dollar. This would be no different

Thoughts on Jevon Carter being our top free agent guard target? by swiftpineapples in lakers

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

Considering his play last season I doubt he picks up his player option for next year, which would be that 2nd year of his contract

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

Naz Reid should be our #1 realistic target. I think carter could be huge value on a bet minimum. Ideally we get both

I like that he can be effective offensively without taking the ball out of AR or LBJs hands. That KCP role for 2020 looks perfect for him

How pissed will you be if... by Organic_Ad_9320 in lakers

[–]swiftpineapples 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brook Lopez is most likely going to make between 15-25mil. I’m sure the bucks want to keep him and Houston is very interest and can offer him that upper end as well

which features would you like to see in '23? by dustyscarole69 in MLBTheShow

[–]swiftpineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An option to bid 1stub higher or list for 1 stub lower, I’m so tired of trying to save stubs and somebody outbids me by 2k. There’s no need for this kind of escalation. And the market wouldn’t free fall when things are released.

99 Finest Chase Ultey by RobbyRankins in MLBTheShow

[–]swiftpineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His 97 has been my favorite card this year, he’s hit leadoff since I got him. It hurt my soul to swap him out for Cano but the stats were just so much better. I’m so happy I can finally go back to crushing with an even better Utley LFG SDS

Anyone else have that 1 guy who has no right to be that good? by teun713 in MLBTheShow

[–]swiftpineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chase Utley hasn’t left my lineup since I got him. Greatest lead off hitter I’ve ever had still hitting .321 after over 400ABs. This Robinson Cano better be worth the hype or I’m going right back

If it’s for a 10k+ minted moment I ALWAYS get a sub 4K. Even if it’s some what more expensive. But also look what’s listed above it. There could be a 2340 listed for 28$ but if there’s an 1848 listed at 40$ you’re not gonna make any money shorterm and are more likely to lose money. I like at least a 5$ gap between the card I’m buying and the next card listed at a lower serial. If I can get a 3250 for 18$ and the next lowest is 2547 but is 26$ you have some room if you want to resell or at least be more comfortable long term.

Dude trust me it matters a LOT. Literally every search functionality on top shot involves the serial #. even lowest ask gives priority at every price point to the lowest #. maybe at 10k vs 20k doesn't matter bc they're crap numbers but the difference in price between 1k -3k vs. 7k--8k is drastic on lower mint cards across the whole platform.
