getting LMA was always a long shot. it sucks that reports were saying the lakers were high on his list, and then to hear he was "underwhelmed" by the presentation. but at the end of the day, he either wants to play here or he doesn't.

even though i wanted (read: mentally prepared) to draft okafor, im still very happy and excited for russell's growth.

its not over until he signs with another team, but if we don't get LMA, wouldn't mind going after tobias harris and robin lopez with our remaining cap. would be a tough sell but the market for players might change in the next few days as roster spots start to get taken.

@stevekylerNBA: There have been indication that Boston could be the front runner, but was told that Harris' camp has made no decisions yet

Worst case scenario Ed Davis and Jordan Hill are back...

Wouldn't mind.

If the cap goes up to $69mil.

I guess I would put my eggs in the Tyson Chandler & Tobias Harris basket.

Max for Tobias. $10-11mil for Chandler.

Cut Jabari Brown and would have to trade Ryan Kelly into space somewhere.

A decent 30-35 win team.

Gives us
Russell, Clarkson (RFA), Tobias, Randle, Black (RFA), Nance & A. Brown all under 25 years old. As well as a respected veteran in Tyson Chandler.

$42.9mil in cap space. Max would be somewhere around $26.7mil / $22.25mil

I'll be ECSTATIC if this happens.

Side note: we'll know LaMarcus Aldridge is serious about joining the Spurs when he agrees to meet with an @HEB rep.

Kevin Arnovitz @kevinarnovitz
Milwaukee increasingly unlikely as a destination for Tyson Chandler.

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
@kevinarnovitz Agreed. Clippers or Lakers far more likely for Tyson Chandler if he leaves Dallas as it increasingly appears

Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI
Kings have about $10 million in cap space, and belief league-wide is that Rondo wants all of it. Still: Who is Sacramento bidding against?

Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI
If Kings/Rondo falls apart, one option Sacramento could consider: Corey Brewer. Support for Brewer amongst some internally.

Larry Sanders?

Lmao LA gonna drag this situation out :lol:

The media gonna keep flip flopping on who impressed LaMarcus Aldridge the most :lol:

Would be great.

But he seemed to be done with Basketball.

He has his demons that he really wants to get ahold of, and seemed content without basketball.
