From what I have been reading its going to be a bunch of sign and trades. I think the Suns have Brandon Knight's bird rights.

I would say the Morris Twins, PJ Tucker, Bullock, and maybe one other player would have to go.

In order to fit LMA under tha cap, they'd have to clear about 9 mill in space.

Getting rid of the Morris twins would be enough.I think they make about 12 mill per combined

maybe Kwamaaay Brown would of been better??

Pau/Kobe won 2 ships together ON THE COURT...that's probably why he brought him up. SUCCESS.
Trust me I get what you're saying but that was years ago and Pau's name+ the Lakers is toxic right now. Its like me trying to lure investors to Malaysia Airlines. It was a good airline but here I am in meetings and I'm bringing up the plane(370) that went missing and has yet to be found.

nikka...Kobe ain't the future:ufdup:

Aldridge and Russell/Randle/Clarkson would've been our future. Talking about Kobe and Aldridge would be the focal point would've been cool if it was still 2008 and Kobe was 29 in his 12th year. It's 2015, Kobe is 37 in August, entering his 20th season, and hasn't played like "Kobe" since the 2013 season.

They should've talked heavily on how Aldridge would mesh with the young talented core and their plans to build around them for the near future...not talking about how Aldridge would mesh with Kobe and off the court shyt:snoop:

:lupe:

Maybe getting Aldridge would be a sign and trade situation in which the Blazers take back the Morris Twins and picks.

Cleveland still has to move Haywood's contract.

I doubt the Knicks would want them.

Uncertain grounds
Folks on RealGM trying to rationalize it talking about how it's non-guaranteed for the 2nd year and can be used as a trade chip. shyt is damn near irrelevant for next season when 95% of the league will have cap space

It was a dumb ass signing

realgm celt fans are the WOAT of WOATs. there 4 good posters at most

this is my only rationalization

gave up on big names or didnt want to reach their price tag. bass wanted years. everyone else wanted years. so we vastly overpay for a one year rental that is a slight upgrade and could potentially be used as trade filler (although id wager we keep him and let him expire)...rather than pay bass like 4/32 or some shyt. seems like danny is mucking his hand this year. i like jerebko at 2/10 and woulda gone 3/15. good role players on the cheap right now are key for the cap going forward.

still have hope for tobias but at this point whatever. would almost rather let crowder go. he probably saw carroll's contract and boosted his price an extra 2m and an extra year. let dallas have him. we have too much of a logjam and people gotta go.

Phoenix is just a terrible franchise.

Chandler's a fine player but he'll be 33 in a few months and this is going to end terribly.

A quick look at Tyson Chandler's Basketball Reference page lists the following players among his similarity scores:

Brad Miller
Alonzo Mourning
Dikembe Mutombo
Bill Laimbeer
Marcus Camby

Take a look at what those guys did in their careers in their post-Age 33 seasons.
:sas2:
It's disgusting.
Unbelievably stupid signing by Phoenix. No wonder they'll never win anything.

:scust:
