Nah Bron is still coming.

Our roster without PG is still better than the Cavs roster without Bron
Ingram, Kuzma, ball, Hart >>> that shyt stain of a roster in Cleveland


But Does Lebron want to lose in the 2nd round?


Leonard will be there the following year tho and Golden state might be able to bring back Thompson or they would have to trade Draymond. There luxury tax will be over 320m. The owner ain’t paying that much

This is misleading. It’s the same money just that OKC can give him the 5th year but PG is young enough and can get another contract with the Lakers if he takes care of business as far as stayin healthy and takin care of his body
Doubt he trusts himself. He’s already lost a step since the injury

Someone explain this to me what is the point of this?

He only marking 1.6 next year, why is the team actually giving that up and paying 20+ per year?

Jokic woulda been an unrestricted free agent july 2019 if they picked up the option.Declining makes him restricted this summer

He would cost more next summer. Plus he wanted to be maxed this summer



If they picked up his team option then he'd be an UFA next summer, since they declined the option he'll be a RFA this summer and they can ensure they lock him up.

I understand that but he getting max either way

I know but they don't want their best player hitting the open market where more teams will have max slots to offer next summer

The market this summer helps denver only the lakers have a max slot, next summer more teams will be able to offer him a max and the nuggets wouldn't be able to match like they can this summer.

Depends on if he masks all nba teams. Denver is a team that never wants to be in the luxury tax. I was listening to a nba podcast on RealGM. And they said Denver owner is cheap. Regardless it works out for the team and him
They said they are set out to pay it this year
