Where the hell did all this Lebron wants to be a Laker talk come from? :dahell:

[KOBE]

How dare you doubt Pop

LeBron and Kahwi is more than enough ( hell Kahwi looked like enough by hisself till the Warriors took him out)

This is the same Coach that made TP and Manu All Stars...

You gotta have brain damage to think Spurs stood a real chance at winning a 7 game series against the Warriors based on literally a single half of basketball.

You know posters on the internet, are actual people in real life right?

I don't think all of them are

Who knew Bron would go back to Cleveland a year ahead of time? Or would go to Miami? No one. Dudes sources hardly chatter. These loose strings about Hollywood arent convincing.

This is from Feb 2012.

LeBron James says he could see himself returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers


He had been dropping hints about returning to Cleveland damn near a year after he left, that was the first time he just came out and said it but he had been doing the bread crumb ish before that.

His wife wanting to live in LA fulltime is like them just dropping a loaf of bread off instead of a crumb.

Jesus Christ. Do some research. Ingram makes about 4 million. He wouldn't need to be traded.

If you want 2 max spots you have to get rid of him. That's how it works. You need to get rid of his 4mil.
Don't assume breh, I've clearly done more research than your bias self

Break it down for us, then breh

Keeping it simple, currently under guaranteed contract you have Deng, Clarkson, Ball, Kuzma, and Hart totaling to $41.3mil. Just adding Ingram's 5.7mil in there and you're at 47mil. The current cap projection is ~102mil for 2018-19, meaning you'll have ~55mil in space. That's not enough for 2max free agents.

They will waive and stretch Deng's salary over several years and/or trade Clarkson for no long term salary to clear up another $15M.

They've made it clear Ball and Ingram are untouchable. Anyone else can be moved for two max guys.

Too much assumption and what-if.

 

[Da_Eggman]

I hope he stays in Cleveland. Last thing I want is Lonzo and Ingram to be playing Bron Ball, I mean damn how many times dude gonna jump bandwagons?

Yeah you don't want Lebron on your team

Too much assumption and what-if.

Bruh like I said do some research.

The Lakers, sans Clarkson, project to have about $59.4 million, which is close to the numbers needed for George and Cousins together but not quite there to land one with either James or Westbrook.

The key is getting out of Deng's contract. The veteran forward is under contract for the next three seasons at $54 million. Shedding him in trade will prove costly, be it in prospects and/or draft considerations.

Without Deng, Randle and Clarkson, the Lakers would have about $76.6 million to spend. Removing Deng could open the door for Los Angeles to either keep Clarkson (under contract at $12.5 million for 2018-19), Randle (who has a cap hold of $12.4 million as a restricted free agent next summer) or free agents in Lopez or Caldwell-Pope.

The Lakers could instead look to stretch out the final two seasons on Deng's salary over a five-year period (at $7.4 million per season), which would put the team at about $69.2 million in space (without Clarkson and Randle).

That's by Eric Pincus, a cap expert.

There's literally no article out there with mention of trading Ingram.

But please, keep telling us how much research you've done.

Bruh said TRADE INGRAM LMAOOOOO

So we're magically trading Clarkson and Deng without taking cash back Keep living in the clouds brehs

We don't need to trade Deng, we could stretch him.

We could trade Clarkson for a 2nd round pick at worst. He makes about 14 million if I remember correctly.

But please, tell me again how you know more than cap experts.

You do realize the Lakers made moves this offseason(trading DLO and signing KCP to a 1 year) to keep 2018 flexibility...for...guess what... 2 max contracts.

At this point, you're trolling.

Who said his wife wants to live there full time? Per source? On rumor mills?

The cap experts are saying it's possible through unlikely trades. It's possible, you're just working with slim chances for an unrealistic dream.

The same rumor mill that said he could go back to Cleveland because his wife was homesick, people dismissed that then she started doing this on IG -

Then....he went back.
