Yup. Folks like Tmac, Vince, CP, Melo are the ones that should be worried about the rings. If my name is Solomon Hill, just keep paying me!!!

They finally realized they are going to rebuild this like most teams and not think of themselves as THEE Lakers and just offer max cap space and the city of LA.

As of right now, the Blazers can still match him even after breaking the bank for Turner. f they go out and sign someone else, then have to renounce Crabbe (and Harkless).

Heh.
Life comes at you rapidly. Thought it was gonna be one way after #24 retired...but it's another...
At least they still got Master Splinter and Ingram though. If I were a fan, I'd be looking at a picture of the young talent like the Wolverine meme.

And what's the issue with that? You drafted Conley & Rudy Gay didn't you? You guys are pretty spot on if the pick is high.
You just gave a quarter of a billion to two players who don't even guarantee a 2nd round appearance. You're gonna have to do a full rebuild, you're just delaying the inevitable & wasted 250 mil to scratch & claw to get out of the 1st round.
Conley can't hit a damn thing in the playoffs, Marc doesn't like to shoot, Z-Bo is declining & sucks against San Antonio anyway, Parsons has missed 20 games each in the past two years and his advanced numbers (and the eye test) point to him being an average player.
What exactly is this team going to do in May? This core was given SEVERAL years to make something happen & didnt. Got beat in the 1st round a few times, got swept other times. With the current west landscape, they're first round fodder and are hellbent on remaining there until it's time to rebuild. Ridiculous. Conley and Parsons getting maxes from the same team under ANY salary cap is a bad move.

new coach too. I don't see playoffs for the Lakers this year with this roster but next year perhaps. Unless Ingram comes out and goes Anthony Davis on the league

If you aren't a superstar it should be all about the money. Athletes have a limited amount of time to really max out their earning potential.
Get paid young _ get paid - young dolph voice
Nfl players are practically crash dummies and they are definitely underpaid. They need guaranteed contracts honestly

Lakers fans who is starting in your frontcourt out of these 4: Ingram, Randle, Mozgiv, Deng?

Lu is better than Randle at both ends still. He'd be the starter and play more mins on most teams.
Sucks for Randle. I know he was looking forward to big mins.

I always thought the NBA should do guaranteed money like the NFL does. Like take Deron Williams or any other player who didn't live up to the contract. He got a $100M contract but after he signed was only really worth maybe $50M. Nets could cut him after the $50M guaranteed was paid and not be on the hook for the other half.

Nah. These dudes are filthy rich. You want to give a quarter BILLION to two dudes with zero all star games or all NBA teams, you gotta pay them 100% of that.
Should've given your decisions a little more thought.
Of course on the other end, you have the D Wills who just rapidly decline unexpectedly, but that doesn't happen to most of these dudes.

Probably Mozgov, Randle and Deng to start.
Would not be surprised to eventually see Mozgov, Deng and Ingram.

All these contracts still don't touch the long term fleecing Bonilla pulled off

Bresnahan reported that the Lakers envision Ingram being the starter right away.
