The Lakers are still so traumatized by Bogi’s buzzer beater that they decided to sign him.

They are going to try to get us to take Travis Outlaw i mean Kyle Kuzma.

Hell NO to Kuz!

 

[Jkbiker]

can we propose S&T deals with Lakers without a tampering charge?

Kuzma is only 3.6 mil?
Double sign & Trade?
Do they have cap before they sign AD?

There's a cap hold on AD, so it doesn't appear they have any cap room. Even if the player options all got declined and they rescinded all the other free agent cap holds, they'd still be at $100M, so only about $9M in cap space. That's not enough.

Worse, they don't have any first round picks available to send until 2027. And they don't really have any super interesting players to offer. I mean, would you take Danny Green + Kuzma for a 2022 pick swap, a 2026 pick swap, and a 2027 unprotected? That just seems like the best offer available, and it's not all that. Those picks are probably mid-20s picks across the board.

It would be the first time in decades, if ever, the kings made a deal with the Lakers

They already traded Green

Lakers fans not paying attention to the fact Bogdan wanted more than 15 mil from the Bucks

Oh yeah, he was in the Schröder deal. Forgot with all the commotion. This is the time of year when salary pages aren't always up to date.

 

[Sam0ah]

Nope on principle! Screw the Lakers....

You speak as though 7akers fans might possess the quality of being able to pay attention. No.

 

[Sam0ah]

I also think our new GM might be too smart to want their cast offs.

Lakers could offer Kuz & McGee in return for a $12-13M Bogdan S&T

12-13 million? Lol. Lakers fans are idiots, in denial or idiots in denial.

nothing new there

 

[Jkbiker]

Lakers always think players will play for peanuts to go there

 

[Albatros]

Jason Jones. How in the world of all that is holy did he get picked up by the athletic.

Since being at the Athletic he has done a reasonably good job.

 

[upinsmoke]

Why is J. Jones still the beat writer?

 

[twslam07]

I'm fine keeping Bogdan for $12-13 mil with the idea of moving him down the road for value.

However, I'm sure Atlanta would offer more than $12-13 mil per year so then you have a dilemma on your hands.

Plus KCP just got 40 million that would've went to Bogi. Market ain't as big for Bogi as he thought it seems, Hawks already spent a lot as well.
