@Sdot8990@Icecold_carter@JimothyBucket@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers I am not factoring the AR dea. LA has his bird rights. Everybody is saying you can create cap space. But how? Barely any other team has cap space any more after 12NN. I am not trying to be right just for the sake of it I am trying to understand the logic behind it.
@Sdot8990@Icecold_carter@JimothyBucket@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers Oh okay. But that will still be via trades and not a lot of team will be trading those players into their cap space for nothing. Maybe a second round pick or 2. I just don’t see it realitiscally happening. Most team have used up their cap space.
@Sdot8990@Icecold_carter@JimothyBucket@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers Curios about that. LA had $50 Mil in cap space coming in right? Now they have spent over 50 NOT including Austin per Spotrac. Vando only make 12 even if they clear that where is the 20 plus coming from? I am just confused. I do understand the number are estimates.
@Icecold_carter@JimothyBucket@Sdot8990@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers Reports say they are willing to match any offer. Lakers ni longer have the cap to sign PWat. I don’t think they will take bavk Vando and whoever as filler since it will have to be practically the same salary. U think the Lakers are able to shred more salary w only 2nd rds pcks?
@JimothyBucket@Sdot8990@Icecold_carter@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers They can retain him by matching any offer. No other team has cap space so meaning Nuggets have to agree on the sign and trade. If they won’t retain PWat for his salary, it does not make sense for them to get bad contract with no good picks attached. That’s Denver’s leverage.
@Sdot8990@Icecold_carter@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers Now explain to me like I’m 5 how they going to fit PWat at 25M together with all their signings. Yes the league calendar has not start well know that. But with with all those FA signings that take LA all cap space.
@Sdot8990@Icecold_carter@esidery@sam_amick@nuggets@Lakers You think Pwat is only worth 3 2nds? And now explain to me how are you absorbing his contract? You gonna trade your trash ass players like Vando and Dalton 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Lakers no longer have cap space.
@N0LTES@TheDunkCentral@MarcJSpears First of all other teams can’t. They can only offer 177M/4z.
Plus if any team do make an offer, Pistons wait till the last possible minute so that team cannot sign any free agent since it will toed to the offer sheet.
