No disrespect to Dinwiddie but surely the Wizards would look for bigger fish/more assets in a Beal move.

I could see all of Bertans, Bryant, and KCP being the type of complimentary players that would really benefit the Nets though. That's quite a bit of salary and might be able to get the Nets off the Jordan contract for a pick(s) in return. No idea how the money plays out Washington would be hard capped getting back Dinwiddie but just glancing at the numbers it looks possible.

Also literally nobody is doing this lol. IDK why the Lakers rumors are the only ones that get you worked up but it's all just speculation based on players that have legit traction as far as rumors go. Lakers DO want Hield, Bulls seem to want Schroder. So obviously people will looks for ways to see how scenarios around either of those moves could play out.

There is literally not a person alive that has said Hield is going to the Lakers because the Wizards/Kings for sure want Dennis Schroder. It's all just hypotheticals of what is technically possible. Don't take the **** so serious man, just enjoy the mayhem that is the NBA off-season.

That leaves them with enough room to still likely match and keep Lauri, even if they don't want him it's a trade piece, and maybe still use one of their MLEs before hitting the hard cap if they waive and stretch Aminu. Might not even have to lose Aminu, giving them another trade chip. In the other scenario you're waiving and stretching maybe all 3 of Thad, Tomas, Aminu which means you're paying them for 3-4 years down the line, as well as losing Lauri for nothing. I understand you're looking at it from a why would Dennis/another team help the Lakers but in this scenario a S&T helps all of the Lakers, Dennis, and Chicago. A S&T allows Dennis to get where he wants without that team having to get worse or renounce rights to players/trade pieces to make room for him. And in Chicago's case they could likely retain more value on their roster, especially in keeping Lauri, and not have to stretch all those guys paying them money when they aren't even on their team anymore.

I honestly don't see any scenario where Lauri is here next year if he's getting big money. Some team is gonna sign him to a big offer sheet and I'd be shocked if the Bulls match. Honestly not sure why they extended the QO to him. Perhaps so that the market can dictate his price and then if it's a number they don't like let him go? I don't know the strategy there.

What is worked up? I have a full time job and a 1 year old bro a message board isn't working me up. It is however getting a little annoying that we do this thing where whenever I comment on ANY OTHER thing in the NBA it's crickets, soon as I say something about the Lakers/LeBron then we pretend like all I do is talk about LeBron or whatever team he's on and run the "nobody is saying/doing this" thing. Like we not on a message board where we can literally go back and read some of the posts in here about the Lakers' moves that revolved around shipping Schroder in trades like that man isn't a UFA with a say in the matter.

Whoa whoa whoa. Leave us out of this. I have no doubts his agent is leaking that we have interest.

Anyway looks like Dallas and NY are freeing up cap space. I know Dallas wants to re-sign THJr and want to make a push for Lowry. I think Dragic is a better “fit” there than Lowry.

I have no idea who the Knicks are targeting but I hope it’s Lonzo. Wouldn’t mind THT on the cheap either.

Julius Randle’s $4M is now guaranteed at $19M today. He’s eligible to sign a 4-yr deal.

So since he opted out. What does everyone think a Bobby Portis deal looks like after his Finals performance? Obviously he only helped himself with that one, but how much so did it help?

He's worth it in my opinion. Every team needs crazy eyes. And I say worth. I don't know how much. But how did a player like Crowder get last year from the Suns. He's worth that kind of money in my opinion.

Yup worth it. His ability to score and pass is exactly what they needed. But I don't know if this is the right team to win a ring with. I feel like everyone else is going to reload. So unless they improve their team in other ways. I don't know.

Too long of a contract imo.
