    Brook Lopez (vet min) - Tyson Chandler (vet min) - Johnathan Williams (2-way)
    Anthony Davis (max) - Kyle Kuzma (rook) - Jeff Green (vet min)
    LeBron James (max) - James Ennis (vet min) - Darius Miller (vet min)
    Kawhi Leonard (max) - Danny Green (MLE) - Nik Stauskas (vet min)
    Alex Caruso (vet min) - Trey Burke (vet min)

    Solid mix.

    Giannis was incredible in covering for his weaknesses on the defensive side.
    But Lopez could get $8-10M from the Bucks since they have Giannis in place..or maybe he gets an offer like that from some team with lower expectations.
    Lopez didn't do anything different or gain any new skills this year, hit the open market and got the $3M bi-annual last offseason.

    He spoke Lonzo to the Lakers into existence, but what else has he been right about?

    Gelo to the Lakers?
    Melo to the Lakers?

    Ok, so he was right about Luke sucking.

    He broke down the Lakers situation from the start.
    Lots of interviews that sounded weird live but in hindsight ended up being pure gospel.

    There is a ton of non mainstream media smoke
    Lebron's friend Cuffs (Said several days before names in the deal were even leaked for AD that Kuzma wasn't going to be in it).

    There is also something that everyone is forgetting about. literally everyone
    From July 1, 2018, not long after Lebron James announced his intention to sign with the Lakers.

    Kawhi's cousin on IG live repeatedly stating Kawhi to Lakers
    Bron's homie tweeting we getting Kawhi. He called the AD trade to LA & Lakers keeping Kuz on June 9th.
    Bron's former teammate saying he has major news for ESPN on Monday, not the AD trade. Stating if true it will be a super mega team.

    I can dig it. Won't even be fair. Love it. Make this happen please.

    Kawhi, AD, and Bron would win the next three in a row if 2 out of 3 stay healthy

    Fall Winslow could even start Caruso and they'd still be good enough to win.

    The NBA...
    Just wait it out for 6 years until the timing is right to build a team comprised entirely of superstar players from outside the organization.
    Happy for you guys but I just do not get the appeal of this league at all anymore.
    It's WWE to me.
    I wish Lebron the best in his health and family, but professionally... I prefer his stay with the Lakers is an epic failure.
    The Lakers embody everything wrong about Los Angeles as a concept. Superficial garbage.

    Couldn't like this more.

    I used to love the Lakers, as much as the Dodgers. But then the NBA changed and mostly lost me. Now I see it as hip hop culture, big egos, flopping, and "taking my talents to South Beach" where I'll team with other stars because I can't lead a winner by myself, which all adds up to a big "meh" for me. I can't go as far as tb and hope for a failure since Laker fanhood has been a part of me for so long, but l'll take no joy in LeBron's successes. So if in the end this new superteam wins a championship, I'll give them a nice golf clap and call it a day.

    Beverley and a front court energy guy along the lines of Harrell, Draymond or Siakam.

    Beverley has a vendetta against the Lakers, so I doubt he'd sign. Still a chip on his shoulder because they traded him to Miami after drafting him. Dirty rat bastard can stay where he is, anyway. Running around diving at guys' knees. Dude's basically an irritant clown..misrepresents real tough guys from Chicago like Tony Allen, that played the right way while playing with edge. He has the spirit of Gary Payton with 1/4 the talent..personally, can't respect that much talk when it doesn't match the talent. Hope he stays with the Clips and has a good seat for the LAL title ceremonies. He can be special guest @ the parades and what not
