Hey Faze you think the Wizards are working on a trade for Ariza? Not enough PT for him, Porter, and Webster.

I like your roster for next year, especially in the backcourt.

Wall/Maynor
Beal/Rice
Porter/Webster/Ariza
Nene/Vesely/Booker
Okafor/Seraphin

Is a pretty balanced team all around. If Nene goes down again hough your front court will be pretty bad. You'll definitely need an upgrade at pf or center when Okafor comes off the books.

And if they can only offer him the vets minimum, what's to keep Kobe in LA after he's been amnestied? He has better chances of winning a ring elsewhere.

What's all this vet minimum nonsense. Contract expires next summer.in the 2014 offseason, Without Dwight, they will only have Nash on the books. With a lottery pick, and even with another FA (Lebron) earning max money, they can give Kobe easily 10 million a year and can do the same for a third person.


Not saying LA will do it, but if you're going to argue the negative, at least use factual premises.


For the Lakers to re-sign Bryant, he would have to sit out an entire year until the summer of 2014, because players cannot re-sign with the teams that amnestied them until the end of their current contract.

Saw Andray Blatche to sign a 1 yr/1.4m with Nets. Am I wrong, or is Amnesty not such a leveler of the playing field? Blatche gets all the control over if he's going to go out and get fair market value, allowing the Wizards to just cover the difference from their original deal, or if he'll make them pay 13 of their 14m, even if it is off the cap. It seems like it would come down to if a player holds a grudge with his old team, as his salary stays the same unless someone offers to eclipse it. I don't know how I feel about that, haven't seen a case like the Nets getting a player at such a bargain.

I''d like to move him yea, tricky thing though is I don't want any new contracts moving beyond the length of Nene's aside from Wall/Beal at this point so any new contracts would be limited to 3 years tops, the idea being that when Nene comes off the books (or the year prior to that) we have a ton of cash to go for a max contract at PF or C.

I don't really know though. We're in a weird spot financially where there is a lot of flexibility but no great trading or buying options out there.

The team that amnesties doesn't have a dog in the fight, so really it's a matter if the other teams in the league got a fair crack at Blatche. If Blatche is flat out turning down other teams who are willing to pay more but he's putting them off because he knows he gets paid the same either way, then I think it's something worth looking at.

Is there any reason to believe Dwight is making the rounds for another reason besides wanting LA to beg so that he can stay and feel wanted?

You don't think a player should look for the best opportunity out there?

As long as he doesn't have a one hour TV special or take a whole month to decide I don't see the problem there.

The Nets will have his early bird rights after another year so it makes financial sense for him to stick around. Some team would have paid him more, just not enough that'd he actually see any of that money thanks to the Wiz, it's not like anyone was going to offer him a large long-term contract.

I'm having trouble of thinking of options too, Ariza for Jason Thompson maybe. But he's on the books for 4 years I think.

Edit: 4th year is non-guaranteed. Pretty good trading option if you ask me. Kings need a 3, you guys need depth in the frontcourt.

What does having cap space matter if the free agents aren't there?

If you want to build Magic 2.0 then yea the Lakers can do that but actually putting getting the second superstar Dwight is going to want is going to be really tough to do.

You're right. There aren't going to be any big free agents in the summer of 2014. None at all.

You said no way to add good talent. As long as you have cap space there's a way, either through trade or free agency. Doesn't mean it will happen for sure, but to say no way is just factually wrong.

hmm...so if Dwight doesn't end up in Golden State, who will the Warriors pick up to replace Landry.

The bench is pretty thin right now and I'm 100% sure they plan on going all in at bringing Jarrett back if Dwight doesn't come.

That still leaves a hole that's been left by Landry's departure and their backup centers leg surgery.

Surprised not a lot of mentions out there for Millsap. I guess he is probably going back to Utah and Jefferson is the one to leave.
