Welp, Boston fans were 100% wrong about him going there, so that eliminates one pretender this week.
He can still resign for less, not that any of us had expectations of him coming to Boston either way.
Probably, but they can still trade Gordon and Anderson before signing LeBron and CP3.
Think there's still a way
I mean it ain't happening but this is the coolest LeBron ad a city has done this offseason
? Lebron has declined his last two options. It doesn't mean LA or CLE one way or another.
What sweeteners do they have to unload that horrendous Anderson contract? Especially with so few teams having cap space
It'd never happen but that'd honestly be a really fun team to watch with the Suns rookies + Booker. No defense though.
What? I'm saying when the news drops he'll give it before everyone else.
Capela is restricted so my understanding is that they can go over cap to retain him as long as the timing of matching any contract offers for him lines up.
Houston could be facing a truly ridiculous luxury tax bill if they pay CP3 his max and retain Ariza and Capela, which is expected.
Fred Van Vleet off the fucking bench for the Lakers next season might be the underrated signing the team needs to make in the next couple days.
Let me make it happen...

Fertitta wants to win and has the money. I don't think he cares.
How they planning on doing that unless they miss on everyone? They're not gonna tie up money in a RFA sheet.
Probably. But the stacking nature of it makes it pretty ridiculous. I expect the Celts to work pretty hard to stay under the tax this year because of that - they'll be in it come the season after and presumably the foreseeable future.
I hope the Lakers/Clippers/Sixers enjoy their time in the sun before LeBron and KD team up in the nation's capital in 2022
So guys, I was getting back into NBA basketball slowly some two years ago, I remember some fine folks here teaching be the basics. I hope to get back into it and watch my team LA Lakers in the new season. I don't know much about the sports in general so please bear with me.
I plan on signing up to the NBA subscription on their website when the new season starts, but I see it doesn't start until October.
How do you best follow the off-season? Will I just stick to LakersNation.com for the latest news and trades for my team? And where do one catch the games being played in the off-season, does that happen on NBA.com as well?

I heard people talking about 2 unprotected firsts, but I not sure if that will do it.
They can still make it happen if CP3 and LeBron take a little pay cut. Don't think that happens tho.
Lou Williams set the market for role players when he signed the extension mid season for 24 mil over 3 years (basically 8 mil per). The market for FVV right now is trending around exactly that; 8-8.5 mil per year. I guess time will tell what the actual asking price is, but the Lou Will deal definitely gave us an indicator as to how much high end role players get.
He can be added if PG and Bron come on max deals.
Stop smoking crack.
Nobody in Boston said he was coming here. It's been LA since last year.
Don't get me wrong - I agree that the market is going to dry up real fast for players of his caliber.
But he's restricted. Two max guys are already likely to be a stretch for the Lakers (though easily doable with additional roster moves). They won't have money to pay him under the cap, and they can't go over the cap to do it. If one guy comes, it's a possibility, but they'd still be tying up cap space in the heat of free agency when they'd presumably have bigger fish to chase. And the Raps would simply likely match regardless.
Teams with RFAs are in a really great spot heading into FA this year. I have no idea where offer sheets are going to come from.
So I see the LA Lakers is "the biggest bandwagon team?" stated in the GOAT LeBron free agent thread. Which sucks to me, because I never followed them for any star player or season. I remember I cheered on them as a kid because I was collecting basketball cards and had most LA Lakers cards. But then I haven't followed them ever since, which means I haven't seen the NBA for a good 10+ years. And I am now looking to get back into it, with or without LeBron James, it really doesn't matter much to me, besides the fun factor. I just want to get into the basics and learn about the sports in general with the new season.
To me, the fun part is not to be the best team necessarily, but to have talents and see them develop which is what I find most interesting with any sports team.
I kind of hope we aren't the best team, as I imagine it would be fun following them if there's challenges ahead of the season and that we really have to fight for the championship.

You missed some dire times, so I understand your optimism. But you absolutely want them to be the best team, or the worst team, because the worst thing you can do in the NBA is be good but not great.
The fact that he's a RFA is evidently the hurdle we would need to overcome and of course he becomes a slightly more expensive asset to get, but after all the primary moves are made (PG/Bron), he's option number 1 for the backup pg role if I were the FO. This move and the hope for this move to work only happens if no trade for Kawhi happens obviously.

Any other team would be less of a bandwagon team, other than the Warriors in the last few seasons.
I'm not a fan of the choice either. Not a fan of the old new-old centers when I just watched an entire playoffs of some of the most gifted centeres benched because they can't keep up on switches in PnR. Not a fan of getting played by him all those years ago in free agency either. A feeling shared by almost everyone here in Dallas.
And the most selfist of reasons, getting DeAndre would make the starting 5 what....... DeAndre, Luca, DSJ, Barnes, and Mathews? We gonna make Dirk come off the bench for DeAndre???!!
