@Yinoma2001 Waive and stretch could get them under the luxury tax threshold vs just waiving a guy later

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@ShowTimeeLA That guy is a moron and Kuminga is even dumber for letting him rep him

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@JWeinbachNBA I would do a deal for Kuzma and Sims, but only if we were able to move Vando in the deal

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@LakeShowCP Yea, my grade for Rob is a C- this offseason. He honestly didn’t do anything difficult/creative. He gave up a ton for Kessler, probably slightly overpaid the free agents we got and gave player options, and wasn’t able to land a starting PF after losing LeBron and Rui.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@LakersNation I wouldn’t mind him over guys like Bronny and Knecht, Hardy but we need to get those guys off the roster first because we are at 16 right now.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@PlayoffDude It’s set, but we will have to waive someone, Bronny makes the most sense

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@TrevorLane I honestly believe 3 years 50 million was the magic number. Sounds like we offered around 12 million less.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@PlayoffDude He is going to Minnesota, bank it

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@NBAGeneralist_ No, can’t take on bad contracts with the current CBA/aprons if you are trying to build a championship team.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@osid24 Just make years 2 and 3 non guaranteed and promise him they will be at his option. I know he is taking a risk that they could go back on their word, but teams don’t want to have a bad rep with players/agents.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@deadboylyfee Can’t have a player option

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@LakerTom I agree, but there would still be minutes for him if he can outplay Williams.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@SleeperLakers @NBA @Lakers Saying this again, he did the easy work. Pulling off a trade or trades would be the tough stuff. We don’t have a starting 4 or a legit backup center for a center that missed all of last season.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@PurpGoldLakers Guy looks like he would be the father of an NBA player

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@Yinoma2001 He can’t shoot, until he can shoot he isn’t going to be a bigger part of the rotation.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@LakeShowCP I’m holding onto Carr, if they want Thiero, expiring contracts, and all the seconds and the swap that works for me, but I don’t see Denver considering that at all.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@LegionHoops If the Lakers want to be serious about Watson, they could offer Carr and Thiero plus expiring salary, 3 seconds, and a first round swap. If Watson pushed for a trade to the Lakers, that could get it done.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@JayhzLAL I would do that, still need to send out an additional player to get to 15, Bronny makes the most sense unless Hardy’s contract is being used in a deal.

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@Mr8113439708 Not that we want him on the list, but Kuzma is also a real option

[Chris Italiano @Italcolo11]

@Lakerschipp Watson, Kuminga, PJ Washington, Cam Johnson, Herb Jones, or even Kuzma (in that order) and I would be really happy with the offseason
