**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[MVP]

We having a really good day sans the Gabe signing

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

From what I can tell it didn't really matter what Rui made as long as it's under a certain number to avoid the hard cap

 

[pdino]

I think slight overpays for Gabe Vincent and was thinking Rui more like 15m/yr, but not too mad at it. Rui should probably start next year. Vando/Prince 1st guys off the bench

Anything under $18M to start the contract was a good enough starting point because of rising cap and eventual departure of Bron.

 

[essential1]

Basically a PG and backup Center from a full rotation

 

[pmatic]

 

[lacedemup]

Cam Reddish now

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

If D'lo is gone it has to be for a center. Then you probably bring back Dennis and have Bron on ball like 2020

 

[pmatic]

Davis/???
James/Hachimura
Vanderbilt/Prince/Reddish/Lewis
Reaves?/Christie
Russell?/Vincent/Hood-Schifino

 

[essential1]

Fred Van Vleet just got $43mil a year.

So DLo at $20mil, you might as well sign him for 3 years.

 

[drewsone]

Cam can be low risk moderate reward
my cuzzo rui byke tho is amazing
AR next plssss

 

[grittyman]

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

S&T are 1 for 1 now right?

 

[pmatic]

S&T are 1 for 1 now right?

Nope.

 

[essential1]

? / Gabe / JHS
AR / Max
Vando / Prince / Reddish
Bron / Rui
AD / ?

$144mil (give or take a mil).

Lakers have $28mil until the first apron

 

[DLF]

Unless lakers sign and trade D’lo for a quality starter, just letting him walk will be peak stupidity on lakers part

He’s perfect “lebron dnp- load management” insurance

 

[drewsone]

rob masterclass lowkey lol

 

[pmatic]

 

[reconic supreme]

i’ll be bummed if we lose DLO, I know he sucked in the WCF but he lacked real post-season experience anyways and he was awesome for us in the RS

 

[reconic supreme]

good price for a flyer

if it don’t work with the leadership here in place surrounding him he’s done i think

 

[mrdieselfuel09]

Without DLo first 2 rounds they wouldn’t have sniffed the WCF

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

If TOR didn't just sign Poetl (and give up 1sts trading for him)..........................

 

[tay1]

Who has enough money to give DLo what he wants at this point?

 

[sohi 23]

Yeah at this point just pay Dlo a fair amount. It doesn’t hurt as at all and losing him would suck because we can’t replace the salary slot.

 

[DLF]

Who has enough money to give DLo what he wants at this point?

Can see SAS giving him 1 year balloon deal 1/30
