@CellHendrix That's the price for you pay when you have to send everything out to get and fit the other guys in You know what I'm saying

@SoCalJay01 That’s a horrible horrible bench lol

One version of the Lakers offseason: Renounce LeBron, Rui & Kleber. Stretch Vando. Ayton opts out. Trade Dalton Knecht, Jake LaRavia, a 2031 1st, unprotect 2027, and a 2032 swap for Walker Kessler (5 years/$165M). Sign Andrew Wiggins (3 years/$60M), re-sign LeBron (2 years/$40M), bring back Marcus Smart (3 years/$28.2M). Starting 5: Luka Reaves Wiggins LeBron Kessler Bench: Smart Bronny Adou Hayes #25 pick + vet minimums Defense, size, rim protection, toughness, and still built around Luka's timeline. With the ability to sign potential players on buyouts etc you could still add shooting I also didn't mention a potential second round pick as well They may buy. #Lakeshow

@St_Ghost14 Did you read the title a version of a Lakers offseason not what I would do

@SoCalJay01 Thank God you ain’t in that front office

@houseofhoopsent I'm not even saying this could be done people didn't read the headline which was funny when I said one version 😂 This is one version of their offseason

@SoCalJay01 Gotcha but to me you gotta look at it is an investment and a desperate need in a weak FA center class. Simple economics why the price is high.

@houseofhoopsent Yeah I wasn't thinking When I wrote it out I did it off the top of my head but you're right but still 33 a year

@SoCalJay01 They can only offer 4 years for Kessler

@chiveryownk Well here's the thing they got to choose the rent lane if you're choosing defense choose defense if you're choosing shooting to shooting The problem is you don't really have a lot of assets to go and get both at the same time. So you have to pick a lane

@SoCalJay01 every version of the lakers that i have seen constructed from a lakers fan on twitter has no shooting and the most unrealistic shit ever, there 2k fantasies 😂😂😂

@frozoneLA That's another version of it yeah The thing is with this team if LeBron is on the team starting particularly you have to have an elite POA

@SoCalJay01 Is it possible that instead of Wiggins they go for oubre + grimes?

@chriscapguy Here's the problem as well that roster I put together is just getting top endish talent I could have done a couple other things to actually flush it out and give the bench a little bit more umph but it is what it is

@SoCalJay01 i hope not but ur right

@chriscapguy They're probably going to value LeBron over Rui I hate to say it

@chriscapguy See this is the thing We got to work within the parameters of what probably the team's going to do

@scizzorz24 @Baldmojito Here's a thing I might even agree with you.... But if they've pinpointed him as a player they want and they go after him they should do what they need to do to get them

@SoCalJay01 @Baldmojito Using 33 mil in cap space + 2 FRP for Kessler is a bad trade when you look at opportunity cost. That 33 mil could be used to get say Rob Wil + Lu Dort. Than use 2 FRP, to get off Vando/Jake/DK and get Herb/Missi? Rob Wil + Dort + Herb + Missi > Kessler

But here's my thing 35 million a year is a little too steep to make other moves I mean I guess they could do it you'd have to move around a little bit more They're still 5.4 million open I guess you could do 35 in the first year may decelerate the contract there's a few things you can do The whole thing is just get it structured in that first year to make it painful

@SoCalJay01 lakers paid bynum 24% of the cap. 35m for kess is 21%

@chriscapguy Find 4 years 132 and we move

@chriscapguy Either way you get the picture

@rajadpp @hamastariq_ Raja The bath won't work with this bro sorry

@SoCalJay01 @hamastariq_ Starting 5 Luka Austin Watson Bron Kessler Bench Rui Smart Adou Bronny Chris Cenac or Henry Veesar Steps to how to make this work in the coments below

@hamastariq_ @DJJEWELSLIVE @ErikOzman Yeah I didn't even think of that it'll open a little bit more also didn't take it to account Marcus signing for the 9.4 a year opens up about 5.3 million So you also have that money to play with as well

@DJJEWELSLIVE @SoCalJay01 @ErikOzman They prob waive Nick smith to open up a roster spot they could bring him back on a two way

@Jackraw4L @hamastariq_ I mean you're just going to have to hope you can get some guys on buyouts that are worth more than a vet minimum but the starting five the starting 5 man The biggest thing they need is really shooting on the team I mean that's where it lacks

@SoCalJay01 @hamastariq_ GTJ THJ Keon Ellis Smart THJ GTJ Ellis Adou Hayes Not mad at them

@DJJEWELSLIVE @ErikOzman My friend that's the money all there

@SoCalJay01 @ErikOzman 4 vet mins or do we have any more money to sign a free agent for one of the 4 open roster spots

@Jackraw4L @hamastariq_ Bro I wish it could have done that but the math wouldn't work

@SoCalJay01 @hamastariq_ Bench need to get one or both of Oubre grimes
