Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

[kingjaffejo]

So I'm kinda torn I'm not sure if I want Nick Young moved or just keep him to keep the scoring off the bench. We struggled to get to 100 points most games last season.

Not exactly sure what it does for our defense tho. Might as well keep em both and see who does better later in the season. You always can trade Young later in the season when he ups his value. Who knows they may be able to work on the 2nd unit.

Just for 2016 reference... With the signing of Lou, and just say we give Hibbert $15mil next season (just using it for an easy number to keep track of).

We have 10 players $45.1mil in cap space, two 30% max deals is $53.4mil

6 man like Lou will

so whats holding up the hibbert trade is he trying to get a years supply of gatorade in his trade

Will be done on the 9th.


13 players on the team (not even including Upshaw), and we now have a bunch of guards. Jabari Brown will likely get cut, or be apart of that trade.

I know people in here hate Jordan Hill...but he'd be great off the bench for some scoring.

Is he still available?

Not for the money we have left.

ah, i see.

Count me as one of the few who doesn't like the Lou signing

No need to sign him when we already have a chucker on the team

Shouldve given that money to a SF like brewer or Daniels. We needed an athletic SF who can defend.
Kobe at the 3? I mean he's already guarded by 3's but I don't see it going the other way

Now if the FO is working on a trade for Nick young I'll temper my disapproval of this signing

Not a bad signing in a vacuum, but there aren't enough balls to go around.

essential1 if upshaw balls out in summer league, what is his contract going to look like?

 

[tay1]

"There has to be another move coming. The only way the Lakers have the cap room to sign Williams to this deal is by shedding salary, either in the Hibbert deal or a sign-and-trade with the Raptors for Williams. The most likely candidate to be moved is Nick Young, if anyone will take his contract."

They like Jabari according to Pincus. Take it for what it's worth. Hopefully Upshaw shows his potential in the summer league/training camp and makes the team.

Not sure how to feel about the Lou Will signing to be honest. He seems to be a shorter Nick Young with the way he plays.  

If you look at his stats on synergy he was surprisingly a beast as a ball handler scorer off the pick and roll, great at spot ups, great at the corner three (hopefuly we can create those corner threes). 

I'm going ot assume his ball handling will decrease which hurts his value since he was one of the best scorers as a ball handler.

This probably isn't a good sign for Clarkson, but I don't know.

$7 million per year are you ******* joking? Averaged over 15 points on just 25 MPG, got to the line five times per game, shot 86% from the line. Doesn't give you much else, but a terrific signing. Worth noting, though, that he averaged over 11 shots a game on just 25 MPG, so I don't know if he can integrate with a starting unit and still get that type of volume/#s. But still, impressive.

My thinking exactly, Clarkson's eill command just as much then his deal is up

Clarkson, Lou, Kobe and Swaggy (for now?).
