Those guys are going to steal minutes from better, younger players.


Why would they ' steal' minutes of someone better? Deng makes $18 million/ year ,but there has been no pressure on the Lakers to play him why should they be pressuered to play 3 guys making $7 million total?


Perhaps they'll 'steal' a part of the 26 mpg that Clarkson /IT both averaged as Lakers? Or steal the 26 mpg of an unhappy Randle? Or ' steal' the 23 mpg of Brook Lopez ? Or ' steal' the 22 mpg of Larry Nance?


These guys would be thrilled to get a fraction of those minutes above. Unless there are injuries or the FO deports a couple younguns to Canada ( for Kawhi) they are 8-10 or 9-11 in the rotation at best. That's all.

Massive pay increase to play in sacto.

Turns down play with fultz, a big ?, and Simmons who can't shoot. And Embied who might play 60 games.
Patooie.

You have Boston and kahwi to deal with. Phila is No sure thing to even get to eastern finals.
Go to sacto and make real money.

That is a good deal for both sides. I wonder what took so long for them to reach an agreement.

From my count there are only a handful of unsigned guys left. Caplea is obviously the big one. Then Hood, Monroe, Alex Len, and Okafor. David West and Dwyane Wade if they don't retire. And guys like Devin Harris, Ty Lawson, and Shane Larkin who I don't think anyone expected to be signed yet at this point.

How good of a player is Jokic on Denver? Is he better than Towns or Cousins?

What are you typing paragraphs about? Mcgee is the starting center right now. Lance is cutting into Hart's minutes. Beasley into Kuzma's. Rondo into Ball's. They wouldn't pay them if they weren't planning on that.

in what universe is lance and beasley going to make legitimate cuts into harts and kuzmas minutes? yes, they will probably play. but hart and kuzma are not going to be fricking blocked by fricking lance and fricking beasley. and neither will take enough minutes from either hart or kuzma to where they will be a detriment to either

I do not understand how you have come to this conclusion. Kuzma, Hart, and Ball are not going to play 48 minutes per night. Hart and Kuzma are not going to have their minutes reduced because of Lance and especially Beasley.

Rondo will get minutes similar to Isaiah Thomas last year, who averaged 26 mpg while Lonzo averaged 34 mpg.

They are mostly filling the vaccum of the players above the Lakers released That short enough knucklehead?

It's July ? The season starts in October.

Back from Wyoming and man stuff happened. Now there are rumors from Kawhi's camp about him staying in Toronto?

Just a notch below Towns, better than Cousins coming off an achilles tear.

Jokic looks like a prototypical player on offense.
Mighty.
I saw towns do nothing in playoffs.

Right now id take jokic and be happy to start a team around him. 32 minutes.
18.5 10.7 rebounds 6.1 assists

That's more assists than a lot of point guards. 15th in nba
Top tier rebounder. 9th in nba
A confident competent big man.
Towns 35 minutes
21 12.5. 2.4
