How many people do you think are waiting in line to help out LeBron and the Lakers? What can they reasonably give to make another team get them under the max limit?
Well, the Pelicans kinda just did. After holding out and refusing to deal with them up to the all-star break, they finally buckled. They may have got a big return but they still allowed LAL to keep Kuzma, which I believe they could have held out for. The LeBron's couldn't sit around and do nothing all offseason.
I just hope Vlade doesn't do them any favors with all the 2nd rounders the KINGS have. As
@steelevt pointed out, though, if they KINGS could steal a player like Wagner for depth, that might be ok. Just don't 'sell' them anything.
Then again, I don't want to see anyone help them reduce their cap to the point of being able to offer another max deal.
