The Official 2015 NBA Free Agency/Off-Season Thread

[Tobias]

I think MJ would be more interested in Ryan Kelly since he's into the shooters now

you sick and twisted motherfukker

 

[NatiboyB]

Get it done Doc and Cuban

clippers would be better off.

 

[PTBG]

Howard Beck: Have heard this floated as well. Have also heard suggestions of a Tyson/Love package to LAL. Both repped by @excelsm

Everybody trying to get into drop the Lakers name for clicks season.

Lakers need to chill with the trade talks

If they can sign guys then cool

If they cant, wait until next year

Clarkson, russell, randle combine to make 7 or 8 mil....you dont let go of cheap talent like that

I just proposed this in Bulls thread

Let's say Jimmy accepts the QO and the Lakers sign LMA & Tyson

Would the Lakers trade Randle/Clarkson for Jimmy straight up to have him this season and compete for a title?

 

[PTBG]

Ramona Shelburne: Lakers have "something special" planned for their mtg with Aldridge tonight. Last year, they had Joel Silver make a movie for Melo. So LA

Of course they would
that doesnt work with the salary cap though

Russell
kobe
butler
lamarcus
chandler



When russell and randle prove their legit, then kobe comes back at a lower salary, youre gonna see free agents fighting to play for the lakeshow

Why wouldn't it work cap wise? If Jimmy was to take the QO his cap hit is only 4.4 mil

 

[Houston911]

Can you sign and trade off a qualifying offer?

 

[Brozay]

Can you sign and trade off a qualifying offer?

I don't see why not

A team should have every right to trade a player that takes a QO

Monroe just did and trade talks followed him around a bit this past season

You can't trade a player on a qo without their consent or they lose their bird rights.No player will agree to that

I saw the lakers trying to clear cap space I'd try to offer kirk and etwaun moore for Nick Young

 

[LezJepzin]

these rumors are at an all time high this summer.

I'm hearing now the Kings are trying to get both Rondo and Monte Ellis

 

[PTBG]

Source: Knicks have some interest in Paul Millsap, but his possible price range of $17-19 million per season would be too high for New York.
