This summer could be very interesting. We might see more guys willing to take less money on shorter deals in the right situations to cash in summer 2025 when the cap could spike again (new TV deal).

same with Turner and Poetl, which is why I am not as big on trading for them. Unless you are a elite center in today's game, spending big money there seems useless

We got rui for nothing with his bird rights
Good move by Pelinka.
Teams still trash though

This means the Bogdanovic dream is dead.
I wish they would still go after him and use Rui as a depth guy.
They legit need to trade him now.
With them trading for Rui how is trading Russ not at the top of the list???? like 15-20 mill cap space going into next year if they let him expire lol.We gotta pray this man makes it until the deadline.

The fate of the GOAT franchise is on his frail soon to be injured shoulders
They gotta pull the trigger on Bogdanovich

They might sign him an extension and have him play a Lou Will type role. I get the feeling he wants to stay in LA and he might accept lesser money to do so. But knowing Russ the lesser role might be the main problem. Who knows either way I think the team will be in a good position if he does or doesn't come back. That contract was ridiculous and really hamstrung them these past 2 seasons
i don’t know breh. It seems like he’s embracing the 6th man role but he’s not content. I think ultimately he wants to start and finish quarters. Last game he refused to speak to the media after the comeback because he got benched which he’s routinely done. It’s almost like he’s happier after losses as long as he played well and he got to play. U could see him pouting on the bench against the blazers. I don’t know if he’s willing to keep doing it. I give him props for being a pro though.

Hypothetically, what could the Lakers have got for AD after that Wizards gameThe fate of the GOAT franchise is on his frail soon to be injured shoulders
Its a shame the Lakers started so bad and blew so many games. Cause the west is so bad I might have considered sitting AD until April.
Although it only took 5 playoff games before he got hurt in 2021
