Now that the Cavs are done for the year, here's what I recently put together in my Giannis series @BleacherReport How the Cleveland Cavaliers Could Land Giannis Antetokounmpo in a Blockbuster Trade

@LakersFaithful_ As described they would be over the cap with the full mid-level of about $15M,so not enough to get either. LeBron unsigned has a gigantic cap hold
English
@EricPincus
Is there a way for lakers to offer both Watson and Kessler max contracts?
Let say they trade all their guys on contract vando, Laravia, knecht. Smart and Ayton don’t opt in.
And Austin and lebron wait to sign new contracts.
What’s the most they could offer them?
English
@imskim105 @BleacherReport I have Giannis traded after July 5 in basically all scenarios, fewer restrictions
English
@EricPincus @BleacherReport Eric, IF the Austin S&T were to happen, this would have to take place closer to FA starting, right?

Latest @BleacherReport How the Los Angeles Lakers Could Land Giannis Antetokounmpo in a Blockbuster Trade - continuing the series trying to anticipate each team's best, most-realistic offer. This one assumes MIL eager to pay Reaves heavily via S&T

The Lakers may give Austin a sizable offer to stay, but if it's subpar, and if Chicago/Brooklyn are not offering, then Austin needs a team willing to pay him. The destination becomes secondary to locking in the best contract he can earn
Eric@eastarks24
@EricPincus @BleacherReport I doubt Reaves agrees to play in Milwaukee
English
@DanWoikeSports Don't record people in the bathroom is also an acceptable answer, lol
English
We should probably stop recording people we don’t know period.
Jared Weiss@JaredWeissNBA
Julian Champagnie praised Carter Bryant for how he handled being filmed without apparent consent in the bathroom in OKC: “He had to go to the bathroom, he wanted the quickest one. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I think, if anything, we should stop recording people in the bathroom.”

@aaaaaaaaaa33967 @ESPNNBA @WindhorstESPN If they renounce and want to re - sign can use avail cap room or room mid level which is a little below 10M
English
@ESPNNBA @WindhorstESPN @EricPincus if they do, hypothetically, but resign him what’s the most they can offer?
English
"If the Lakers don't get a clear answer from LeBron by July 1st, they may have to renounce his rights. ... I would be stunned if that happened, but there is a little bit more of an urgency."
@WindhorstESPN details LeBron's free agency scenarios ✍️
English
@IraHeatBeat From getting to know him as a player with the Lakers, Wayne is a tremendous person
English
@BillyBadahh I can't speak to what he'll accept, but if no team with cap room is paying him, the most he can get is NTMLE. If Lakers don't S&T him out - which is a 3-yr deal requirement - then he can retire or go for most avail at NTMLE
English
@EricPincus Wow. So he would accept the no taxpayer MLE from the Warriors?
English
Initially, I'm not feeling the new lottery/tanking system (unofficial, but expected to be in place). I understand and get the logic of aprons and can argue why they're needed. Feels like these tanking rules are cross purpose. I like to be wrong though, so TBD
English
@EricPincus This is off topic Eric, but I saw that you said the GSW seems like an obvious move for LeBron. Is that just based off of your gut feeling?
I enjoy your work.
English
@Ralph_MasonJr Freezing at all-star and eliminating cliff tanking solves the issue for most cases. Usually 3 max terrible teams per year
English
@EricPincus i read it, part of your premise seems to be that tanking isnt even that big of a deal or a massive problem, that it’s part of the league
Adam Silvers reply to that probly is: “you’re fired”

@EricPincus @EricPincus What I can't figure out is they're saying 16 teams are in the lottery, since there are only 30 teams and 16 make the playoffs will 2 playoff teams also be in the lottery?
English
@Ralph_MasonJr I wrote my take on it in late March with a ton of research: bleacherreport.com/articles/25401… and ericpincus.substack.com/p/punishing-te…
English
@EricPincus Adam Silver’s tasks you to try to stop tanking as much as possible, what’s your solution?
English
@Rafy122 The fix that went in place in 2019 to battle The Process was counter-productive, and this doubles down on its worst qualities, at least IMO without all the facts at this time
English
@EricPincus Of course, I just think teams went to extreme measures in the last 3-4 years. This is just a long winded way of me saying they probably should have kept it like it was b/c I don't think the tanking would get to that level anytime soon.

@jeprx @BleacherReport I don't know where the Pelicans are at the moment with a new coach, new tanking/lottery rules. I do know there was some negotiation from other teams before the deadline relative to their players
English
@EricPincus @BleacherReport Is it realistic though that the Pelicans trade both to the Lakers?

@Rafy122 There's a longer history of tanking than Wemby, Flagg, etc. I get why the NBA wants to change that, but I don't know that this is that - the solution and the problem diverge
English
@EricPincus It's an over correction. Teams tanked b/c they wanted a shot at Wemby, Flagg, or this draft. Draft strength or prospects had every thing to do with how teams moved.
