I know Lakers are high on him, don't see him leaving Okay. Thanks. I'm not up to speed on the nuts and bolts of the NBA cap - and "generally speaking" the Lakers are known to be strapped for cash.....so was wondering if we'd already burned thru that cash. Do we still have that exemption left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD averaged 28/12 and you won 34 games. Basketball is what we call a team sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 There are only about 4-5 alphas in the NBA according to @MookieMonstah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve all carried teams to playoffs numerous times. Lillard and Luka bring their teams to the playoffs yearly. AD didn’t. Zion hasn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 THT and Monk never even gonna see the court. LeBron only plays with role players who were born in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen what CP3 and AD have done once they've bounced. Zion will probably win 10 rings if he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Monk sign for the minimum. He's a young guy. Well...okay. That works for me. We've still got some wiggling room left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
