Stretch provision Deng, let KCP & Lopez walk and we suddenly have the money to go for 2 max FAs

Ain't that right @Malta

If you don't resign Lopesz, decline Ennis option, stretch provision Deng and let CopFace retire from his beat you'd have 2 max slots and might be able to retain KCP.

You gonna appreciate him seeking a max contract even less



Young Gawd with no knee caps > Randle.

I won't be surprised if he gets traded mid-season

Some lucky team might get him for 10m/year and he'll ball out there

There's no room in the league for a PF that can't post up, hit the three or defend, he gotta be able to do one or the other

He's about to hit the three and defend next season, truss me

Dude really should learn from guys like Zach Randolph and Al Jefferson, he's more athletic than those guys but being able to get 20 in the post, be effective without having to jump is usually a 15+ year career.

And he'd want a max


His t-rex arms aint about to grow overnight neither, plus he got that devil stealing his soul slowly.

He's actually pretty athletic and looks in better shape than he ever did before

He's the odd man out no matter what really, the Lakers sign Bron & George or George and Cousins his days at the 4 are done.

Didn't say he wasn't athletic. His primary skill is supposed to be his ballhandling but he has tunnel vision. As is he won't cut it in the league and after this first contract he'll be toast if he doesn't reinvent himself, I'm thinking with his frame he'll fare better as post guy than a pick and pop guy so I think he should be calling those guys I mentioned.

Just another reason Magic should've shipped him out instead of foolishly shipping out D'angelo.

Don't think BK does the deal in that case, nor would we get much for Randle.

The point of the trade was the Mozgov salary dump, not the return for the player. Some team would've took Deng/Mozgov + Randle for an expiring if not Brooklyn.

But hey, maybe Kuzma is as nice as he seemed in summer league and it won't matter

Not sure we could have done that without dumping DLO. But maybe we could have

Magic didn't seem to appreciate him anyway
