Lakers 2016 offseason
Randle Russell Williams young Anthony brown Larry nance and maybe bass (PO) get to 22 without bass and 25 with bass leaving them with around 65-68 mill in cap space
Trade young with 2nd round pick of that year
70-73 mill in cap space now
Sign derozan 4 yrs somewhere around 20 mill (I hope durant)
Sign a center etc whiteside horford Noah around 15-20 mill
So 35-40 mill of cap space is gone
With remaining money (25-30) mill
Resign clarkson black 15 mill probably
Sign backup point and backup small forward and if you have remaining money maybe take on a bad contract with a pick
PG Russell/FA
SG clarkson/Williams
SF derozan or durant/fa/brown
PF Randle/bass/nance
C FA/bad contract maybe pek/black

Unless they sign durant and Noah that would be one of the worst starting 5s on defense

09 Sep 2015 02:40:26
Derozen WILL sign extension with Raps

09 Sep 2015 04:22:49
I think derozan contract ends in 2017

09 Sep 2015 05:20:58
Derozan might not sign one. Derozan has a player option. Derozan and whiteside are good defenders

09 Sep 2015 12:44:02
Derozan's contract is for this year plus a player option for next season at $9.5m.

If he opts out, he'll want both big money plus a chance to win. I can see him staying in the East instead.

09 Sep 2015 14:20:29
From the past off season I think you can't really hope a big time free agent is going to leave their team. Lakers might strike out on Durant and derozan next year

09 Sep 2015 15:14:43
Lakers won't be getting Durant, Whiteside, most likely not Derozen. The only options are Noah and Horford, and quite honestly, neither of them would want to be involved with a "rebuild" They are both aging big men on winning teams. The thought of switching to go to the lakers and that mess isn't going to happen. The lakers need to adjust like the knicks in realizing that you can't attract the huge names simply because of your history. Build with the solid good players is the way to build a great team.

09 Sep 2015 15:18:57
Derozan was involved in trade rumors this year weather if there real or not. You have Derozan probably becoming a free agent with Ross also. Thompson also want to come so do you risk losing Derozan to keep Ross and sign Thompson or do you sign Derozan and try to keep ross

09 Sep 2015 15:39:47
Agreed. I don't the Lakers are the big time draw they once were. Maybe if someone pops up and becomes the next superstar but I don't think that happens as long as Kobe is there.

If a player wants the LA glitz and a chance to win, the Clippers are the better choice right now.

09 Sep 2015 15:43:14
So players like affalfo and Lopez and Derrick Williams and Calderon is the Knicks way of trying to build up and win with there star player mad after being lied to? Nice way to win huh

09 Sep 2015 16:20:59
Derozen will not take his option but will sign a max deal with the raptors. He's that kind of player.

09 Sep 2015 16:32:03
Clippers also don't have money and a little turmoil between doc and tucker. Kobes gone after this year. Lakers are more than happy with Russell Randle and clarkson and wouldn't mind building around them as long as thing go right

09 Sep 2015 18:08:05
Clippers are going to have to move some pieces. Stevenson is a team option next year. Reddick will be 32 so he's a salary dump waiting to happen next off season. They''ll have to throw in a 1st round pick in the year I start collecting Social Security. That's $16m right there.

It won't be easy. Clips are short a 1st rounder and have three guys hogging up $64m. They might be the most top heavy team in sports.

09 Sep 2015 18:13:40
The king. Fairly certain all nba projections have the Knicks ahead of the Lakers after those moves. Moves which all analysts like very much. So to answer your question, yes!

09 Sep 2015 18:31:24
Lakers going to have to rebuild. With the cap increasing teams can't really use money as a leverage anymore. No star player wants to go to a rebuilding team. And personally I think d Russell isn't going to be what he's hyped up to be. Shouldn't drafted okafor or maybe even Winslow/mudiay

09 Sep 2015 19:44:28
Agree with NBA fan. Should have drafted OK4. I know, I know. They have Julius Randall. I'd have worked that out later.

After you get your Center, then you can fill in the blanks with Derozen, etc.

09 Sep 2015 23:25:50
Randle okafor horrible defense. Could care less what some analysts say. Lakers are going in the right direction as far as rebuilding. Russell has star potential. Winslow and mudiay shouldn't have gone that high at number 2. Hate how people call Russell a bust after sl. Tell me who's future is brighter Knicks or lakers. Knicks have a project in porzingas. Grant and early. Melo isn't getting younger. Affalfo coming off of his worst year. Lopez is a good defensive center. Williams is a bust. Oquinn was a nice pickup one of the best in the leauge so kudos to them. Lakers have Russell and Randle waiting to see. Clarkson should improve. Brown black nance still see. Lou will sixth man. Bass a decent power forward and mentor. Hibbert is a decent center who's lost weight. Future brighter goes to.

10 Sep 2015 14:48:13
Could care less what some analysts say? It's ALL analysts and ALL experts. And how are the Lakers going in the right direction? They have the worst salary in the sport in kobe. They got hibbert, a player so unwanted the lakers were the only team to offer anything. They overpaid for lou williams. And they have randle and russell, who have played a combined 10 minutes in the NBA. So if you want to ask if the knicks or lakers are better set up. the answer is easy.

Knicks have a top 20 player in melo. And due to his style of play, as long as he stays healthy(which minus last year, he is almost always good for about 70 games) he is pretty much in his prime. Add on top he's wildly popular throughout the league and can recruit.

You have Lopez, solid, healthy, defensive/rebounding center. Solid wing in Afflalo, great snag in O'Quinn, and 2 great young prospects in grant and porzingas.

The lakers have Kobe(done after this year) Hibbert(expiring contract) Lou Williams(over paid role player) Nick Young(overpaid douche) Bass(worthless) and you have randle(a pf that plays terrible defense), russell(potential bust) and clarkson(bloated stats on MISERABLE team). While you have 3 decent prospects, you have ZERO established players after this year. Its near impossible to recruit the big stars, going "come to us, we are the lakers afterall. And I mean, we have a complete rebuild going on, so why don't you come and not win for a couple years with us"

Yup. you make a compelling argument but ill agree with every analyst and say the knicks are better.

10 Sep 2015 15:35:48
Kobe got paid for his work with the lakers for over 17 years now entering his 20. Hibbert could've been traded to the mavs but Hibbert at least was wanted by 3 teams. Lou will if you "listen to the analysts" say his deal was good for a six man and could've gotten 9 mill per year but lakers snagged for less. How is bass worthless he's a good defensive rebounding power forward. Melo is only a one way player who cares a not u the all star game and Willa get traded. Affalfo had his worst year. Lopez 10 and 8. Porzingas has huge bust potential. Randle and Russell will prove to be better than u think and just watch for clarkson. Melo getting traded and Knicks are horrible

10 Sep 2015 23:28:55
Mmmhmm, King. So he got paid for what he did, not what he does. Hibbert is awful. If he was 4 inches shorter, he's out of the league.

Lou williams. now you have about 40 million invested in the same player. Kobe, L williams, Young. shooters that NEED the ball.

Brandon BAss is a good defensive/rebounding PF? Last year. less than 5 rebounds. Less than half of a block. Less than half of a steal. AKA. worthless.

No one said the knicks are a champion. BUT, they have a superstar leader(like him or not, he's top 20 in the league), they have a solid wing in Afflalo(not looking for a star, just solid) They have a bruiser/defender/rebounder in Lopez. And as far as Porzingas having huge bust potential? They aren't banking the franchise on him. Just his potential was worth the risk. Russell is to lead the franchise, that's ridiculous.

The reason the knicks are doing well is because they have formed a solid team that can compete with most teams. They have youth/prospects and they can potentially attract players in the future. The lakers lack a franchise cornerstone that will be there past this year, they lack a clear direction, and they lack the appeal in their own city!

Sorry theking. your lakers have officially been dethroned by the clips ;)

Just like how wade got paid for his loyalty to his franchise is why he got paid more than his worth. Hibbert isn't 4 inches shorter and that's a huge difference. He was a 2 time all star even if it was a weak center east. Bass played 28 minutes two years before and his role declined but for 3 mill how is he worthless when he's getti paid LESS than the bust in Derrick Williams who's getting 5 mill. Superstar leader. That's a funny one. More worried about stats and didn't even like the draft pick. Affalfo is more worthless than bass if you look at stats. Porzingas is the next dirk or next darko. Russell isn't be banked on to lead the franchise its up,to Randle Russell and clarkson to gell together. A solid team? That team won't be close to the playoffs even in the east. They have unproven youth so they can't attract a free agent and a unhappy star. Unless clippers win a championship, the lakers will still be the first thought in mind for la

11 Sep 2015 14:38:28
Justifying the payment because others do it. interesting. didn't know the lakers follow the heat in management decisions lol.

Derrick williams doesn't make much sense, agreed porzingas could be dirk or darko(ill take the chance of a first ballot hall of famer), bass was one of the top pick ups this year, he just isn't good. he's a filler. Hibbert is AWFUL. He gets some blocks and clogs the lane. But he is SO slow, he is a negative offensively, and really, he's just there.

Again, knicks fans and analysts alike are rather pleased with this years free agent pick ups. Its a team, a decent starting lineup that is not projected to be bottom 3 in the league. It's a strong improvement, and with the massive cap jump, teams will have money to spend on huge FAs. The point is, built a team with some potential and solid starters and others would like to come.

This isn't a knock on the sixers, but clearly picking up a few young people and hoping they "gel". it takes time. Additionally, those are NOT the situations experienced vets want to join. The Lakers aren't the type to sit around for a few years of awfulness and do a slow rebuild.

They aren't attractive. And news flash, the clippers are already the sexier choice in LA. The point of all of this is that the Lakers front office has been floundering the past few years. They have reached on aging players, or people that just weren't good fits. As a result, they are awful. They have no face of the franchise for years to come, and with the clippers AND warriors being young and great, its hard to believe the lakers being relevant for a few years. Just the realistic situation

11 Sep 2015 18:40:11
Pizza, I'd much rather be the Lakers than the Knicks right now. They have a backcourt that can both shoot and pass, their largest contract is in its last year, I like their PF in Randall. Their biggest problem is that they'll have to rely on FA since they've traded their picks.

The Knicks have an absolute ball hog tied up with a huge contract for several more years, they drafted a project who might actually be a very good player but we might not find out until Melo is gone, and they also traded this year's pick and will have to rely of FA.

The difference is that LA will be a better FA landing spot than the Knicks. Who would really want to play with Melo?

11 Sep 2015 23:30:20
Look at philly he's makes good points but I strongly disagree with bass from your take he is nit worthless at all. Hibbert only is going to be relied on to play defense. A starting lineup of Calderon affalfo Melo o Quinn and Lopez can only get you around 70 points and your bench isn't good enough. Warriors waited a few year for there young players to gel and added some veterans and have a strong and lakers could end up taking the same route. Knicks have a less chance than the lakers getting a free agent.
