Let's rebuild the Los Angeles Lakers
Posted on 6/15/14 at 5:05 pm
Posted on 6/15/14 at 5:05 pm
Lakers have under contract (pending team/player options) for 2014-15:
Kobe Bryant- $23.5mm
Steve Nash- $9.7mm
Nick Young- $1.2mm (PO)
Robert Sacre- $915,243
Kendall Marshall- $915,243 (TO)
--------------------------------------
$35,344,228
The projected salary cap is $63.2 mm, leaving them $27,855,772 to fill out the roster under the cap, as well as the 7th overall pick in the upcoming draft.
I predict the Lakers will definitely pick up Marshall's contract, leaving:
PG-Steve Nash, Kendall Marshall
SG-Kobe Bryant, Nick Young
SF-
PF-
C-Robert Sacre
Now, I presume they'll make a run at SF for:
Carmelo Anthony
Rudy Gay
Luol Deng
Trevor Ariza
Danny Granger
Evan Turner
Xavier Henry
At PF for:
Zach Randolph
Kris Humphries
Andray Blatche
Ed Davis
Jordan Hill
Patrick Patterson
Ryan Kelly
At C for:
Marcin Gortat
Spencer Hawes
Chris Kaman
Emeka Okafor
Build a roster from these players and the salaries they'll command. Some of the players on the list would be filler or backups, but they are players either on the roster as of last year or cheap alternatives.

the first step would be to nuke them

LOL at the idea of the Lakers not going over the cap

What if they signed LeBron?

I honestly would have a tough time getting over that.

I am not a Lakers fan; however, I would turn Bryant into your defensive SF/leader and find an athletic SG to shoulder the offense. As this may improve his longevity.
They are basically screwed right now because Nash and Bryant are so ridiculously overpaid.

They shouldn't even bother while Kobe is on contract
Try for a top 5 pick next year or trade up in the draft this year, and start over.
Whoever okayed that deal for Kobe should be fired

Lakers can't go significantly over the cap without trading Bryant or Nash to do it.

lebron and kobe pretty near can't play together... or at the very least LA makes a lot less sense than other destinations that Lebron could choose instead

I hate the Lakers..but LeBron would look good in that Laker gold
Just saying

Bryant's ego wouldn't let him accept the fact he isn't the greatest player on the team.

Agreed. I get the sense they don't really like each other.

Well he's been the best player on the Lakers for 2/5 championships

Can Nash even walk these days?

What the heck does Kobe need with all that money?

He made 30 million last year to go to rehab.

Swaggy P just put up 18ppg. though he's a chucker, someone will give him more than that. he's not taking a player option for 1.2 mil.
