2024 NBA Free Agency

[Rastapopoulos]

I wonder where Batum will end up. It's probably between the Spurs and the Clippers. Clippers would be funny given that the Sixers got him for Harden and lost him for Paul George.

 

[inconceivable]

Maybe the Clippers will need him too.

Clips will go after Demar Derozan

[Rastapopoulos]

Makes sense. Miami would also make sense, but I imagine the Spurs can offer the most $$.

France.

He said he's retiring from the NBA.

Predictions

Derozan to LAC

Grant to LAL
Batum to SAS
Klay to DAL
Ant to SAC

Why would they do that?

Fingers crossed!

Predictions

Grant to LAL
Batum to SAS
Klay to DAL
Ant to SAC

Ant to Sac? They just re-signed Monk and drafted Devin Carter. I can't see where they would be motivated to give us much in return.

 

[inconceivable]

Why would they do that?

They've been linked to Lavine. If they miss out on him, Ant is cheaper

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Don't we need to hope Derozan and Klay both go somewhere other than LAL?

 

[Natebishop3]

Don't we need to hope Derozan and Klay both go somewhere other than LAL?

Yes. We want them desperate.

[Natebishop3]

If you believe the reports, we want 2 picks and they don't want to do that. But if they strike out on Klay, I think that might make them more amenable.

Would you be okay with 1 pick, Knect + filler?

 

[Cugel]

If the lakers think another old timer will make them contenders with the likes of NY, PHI, and BOS, then more power to them. Klay does not the needle move at this point in his career.

They need shooters. He is one of the best of all time. Makes perfect sense.

 

[RR7]

Would you be okay with 1 pick, Knect + filler?

yep

 

[andalusian]

They've been linked to Lavine. If they miss out on him, Ant is cheaper

I honestly do not understand why they would want either one. They just extended Malik Monk, they have De'Aaron Fox, they should be able to find cheaper backup combo guard than Ant or Levine.

 

[Natebishop3]

Would you be okay with 1 pick, Knect + filler?

Yup.

 

[B-Roy]

1 pick, Knecht, but the filler must include Rui.

 

[RR7]

1 pick, Knecht, but the filler must include Rui.

I don't care who the filler is if we get Knecht and a pick, personally.

 

[TYDame]

Don’t worry guys, Cronin is just waiting for some bread crumbs or leftovers. Still early. But we’ll get there.

 

[CJ_is_Gone]

Would you be okay with 1 pick, Knect + filler?

Nope.
Not a fan of Knecht... He is in essence 'filler'

This would require a few pick swaps too. The trouble is that the Laker's available picks to trade align with the Bucks. They can provide swaps in '28 & '30 (when we already have swaps with Bucks), and they can trade the '29 (we already have 2 picks here) and '31.

Nico has retired. Will play for the national team in France this summer and that's it. Damn good career for a late 1st round pick.

The FO (reportedly) is higher on him than you are, so it's unlikely that they would consider him filler. I doubt they'd offer that much for Grant; it's not like he's an all-star. 2 FRP's (or Knecht and 1) is likely the most "value" we can expect the Lakers to offer.

[MickZagger]

So now Oklahoma City gets free agents?

 

[THE HCP]

Then something changed.....he was all but done a few months ago.
