@Debonair__J Got a good fitting player in our system when for ages they were asking for first round picks he got him for seconds and then instead of resigning him for a lot of money when he was injured he didn’t kept the money and got DA and Marcus smart that’s one of his few good decisions
@Rome_Beast Duren has such bad motor issues idk why Laker fans want him he’s overrated on defence and motor wise is just as bad as Ayton especially when not getting touches
@Klutch_23 Don’t want him please no has just as bad motor issues as Ayton especially when he isn’t getting touches he will just decide to not play defence
To be VERY clear:
Reaves' will stay on the books at his $21M cap hold until the Lakers use their cap space (if they even go the cap space route). Then, the Lakers will re-sign Reaves after.
This is an agreement, not the official signing. They'll time the signing out after cap space is used.
It’s important NOT to freak out over AR’s contract:
The Lakers will still have MOST cap space in the league ($52M) at their disposal this summer and THEN officially sign Reaves since we have full Bird rights on him.
Time for Rob to make some magic happen 😈
@Klutch_23 Detroit was going to make moves to pursue him and the Nets were not out the picture they only got around 7m extra from the Randle trade so could still pursue him. And money wise…
The Reaves agreement has no impact on the Lakers cap flexibility this summer.
The Lakers projected room takes into account Reaves $20.9M cap hold.
He will sign last after the Lakers exhaust room.
$41.3M in the first year.
@LAemz@deadboylyfee@LAN8VE genuinely think as long as we upgrade the center bring back the good players from last season and make a couple good signings and we are in a fine spot to start the season with room to upgrade throughout
@deadboylyfee Nic Claxton with RW3 as our backup simple. LINKA DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT DUREN he had just as many motor problems as Ayton he just randomly will decide he isn’t bothered to play defence especially when he isn’t getting enough touches and on a team like the lakers that will happen
@LAemz I think realistically we couldn’t get all of this done but even getting a few done would leave me happy goin into season with room to upgrade but I also genuinely think with the right opportunity and depth behind him Josh minott could surprise us and become that 3&D wing we need
@NBAGeneralist_ I’m not very interested in QG yes above average defender but very inconsistent offensive player. center wise I’d be very happy ending up with that but instead of grimes I need a 3&D wing to slide into the starting 5. What wing you may ask idk cause idk who is actually realistic
@NBAGeneralist_ Matisse hasnt been healthy but can they guard up defensively since they’d be technically playing the 3 with reaves and luka on the floor
