Here's the one thats interesting to me. Boogie wants to keep his Bird. Lakers want him but want to keep the chance at both Kawhi and LBJ

They call you and say, sign and trade Boogie to us with Solo for Deng and Kuzma

Lakers get off about 9 mil in the difference between Kuzma/Deng and Solo. They get Boogie and hope SA eventually takes Ingram, Hart or Randle and picks for Kawhi. And sign Lebron. They have their Big 3

Pels get their starting 3 for the next 10 years, who fits amazing next to AD and Jrue. Plus they now can use their full MLE without going into tax. Bring back Rondo, use BAE on Dwight or Monroe. Use MLE on Avery Bradley or KCP or multiple guys.

Now you got a super deep team with a great front line and a monster expiring to use in a trade next year


Where do I sign?

Sources: Robinson will sign a two-year, $8.3M deal with the Pistons, including team option. Robinson has financial security and Detroit gets talented wing.


So both Harris and GR3 off the board.

Will be interesting to see what players fall through the cracks.

Would love it if the Lakers offered Capella a big deal.

The Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans have expressed interest in free agent Trevor Booker, according to league sources. They join the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs (whom I mentioned last night) as possible suitors for the big man

Every player we’ve been linked to is a PF or C. This is...odd.

It could just be posturing to make Boogie think the Pels will let him walk.

That’s what it seems at first blush but literally the only rumors are about PFs and Cs. Just kind of odd.

Maybe boogie really is going to the Lakers and they want to be prepared.

When is the boogie Lakers meeting supposed to take place

We are thin as hell up front without Boogie. I wish we were seeing a name that was potentially exciting like Nerlens Noel, who has actually played pretty well on the court throughout his career instead of these retreads.

Keep in mind the lack of depth past AD/Boogie lead to a lot of wear and tear on those two this past season. I doubt Davis wants to be in that position again, except swap Niko for Cousins, which theoretically puts more physical demand on AD, especially considering how that ended for one of the two bigs last year.

Exactly even with boogie healthy we need another big. The interest in C/PF isn’t surprising or even boogie to Lakers related

Right

Plenty of minutes for AD/Niko/ a Booker type and Diallo

Booker isn't flashy but he's 2 years removed from 10/8 in 25 mins on a terrible nets team and adds another solid defender

Tyreke
Rodney hood

So no not literally, dramatic bunchy

Booker would come cheap and he checks some needed big man depth boxes. Can rebound both ends, keeps ball moving, good locker room guy. In the same vein, hope we check in on a Kyle o Quinn

I would love Kyle o'quinn. Perfect 5 to play with AD.

And we absolutely need more bigs. Even if we resign cousins, hes not playing much this year, and our third big is Diallo with okafor's as the 4th. That's not good enough.

He’s a FA and hasn’t he sucked? Don’t think he’ll get a big deal from anyone.
