I think they should bring back most of the guys they have. The team is already good and needs to be built upon.
Reid is another guy that will command big money. There is a reason Wolves were so eager to move on from D'lo, one of them being they are ready to give good money to Naz and McDaniels. I think Lakers roster will mostly be the same. FVV might be a darkhorse because of Klutch connection and Lakers not being 100% on D'lo. The big move will be using Beasleys contract to get someone here.
LA can afford the full mid-level. If they cut Beasley and Bamba, plus sign Rui right away, they'll actually have cap space since Reaves' cap hold is basically nothing.
Agreed. There is no way Minny is paying over $100 million for three guys who all play the same position.I think they finally go get Buddy Hield with Beasley’s contract. Seems like an obvious move.
But there’s no way the Wolves can pay Reid while paying Gobert all that damn money. They’d be heading into dangerous luxury tax territory. Reid is 100% gone….unless they trade Towns
That's been discussed. Rudy isn't being traded, KAT has been an awkward fit with him while Reid was a solid fit. It's really hard to see him leave unless some team is willing to overpay him and Lakers can't do that. If Lakers/Wolves are offering the same amount, there is no reason he picks Lakers over Wolves.I think they finally go get Buddy Hield with Beasley’s contract. Seems like an obvious move.

He'd go to the Lakers because he'd play more. Hell, he'd probably be starting.
He is used to their system, is familiar with the players/coaches. Most guys don't leave unless its for more money or they are not satisfied with their role. As far as I know, Naz has not complained about either. Lakers brand can do a lot of positive when its working but it is also very toxic if its not. Naz has guys his age in Minny with Ant and McDaniels, it's just hard to see him leave that unless you can entice him with more money.
I don't see him starting, he's a questionable rebounder/defender. And starting him takes out your best wing defender from the starting 5. LeBron is not gonna spend his last year guarding the best perimeter guys. He would be a backup but he will get a lot of opportunity with the injuries that happen here. I still just don't see him coming here for the same money. Wolves have a good core that he can be a part of. If they do move someone, it will be KAT/Gobert and he will get plenty of opportunities there. I can also see a team like OKC throwing him a random big bag since they need help on the front line.
