When Jordan Hill gets 9 million per year, really puts that Kaman contract into perspective....

Why....they have Bledsoe....

 

[B-Roy]

Isiah Thomas is getting 4/27....but we could have lured him with the MLE....right?

Also the Suns are apparently getting him in a S/T. Do these guys not want Bledsoe? What are they doing? Bledsoe is a much better player.

Also:

We could have gotten Nick Young I guess, although I'm not sure I'd rather Young than Kaman.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What are the Lakers doing? $9M a year for JORDAN FUCKING HILL?

Damn no kidding. Hill is not as bad as some were saying on this board, but 9 million a year?
Lopez must be drooling....

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Are we sure that David Kahn isn't pulling the strings in Phoenix? Are they trying to have an entire team of PGs? Remember they also drafted Ennis.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Jordan Hill at $9M per shows how Lakers were willing to overpay for guys on short-term deals. Hill could be Byron Scott's defensive center.

That makes more sense. Everything the Lakers are doing is geared towards making a big splash the summer after Kobe's contract expires. So they will over pay to get shorter contracts.

Seriously, Maybe they think Dragic is a 2 and that Bledsoe isn't worth the max?

No real excuse to overpay by that amount though. You can get someone to fill his spot if we wouldn't take 5, or 6. Or, save your cap space to use for asset acquisition like they did for Lin. then when you make a push for Durant, you can have a few picks to throw people's way for another star or something.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

So basically the Lakers are committed to at least 2 years of 25-35 win (at best) basketball? I fucking love it lol

So....where does he go from here?

Gasol considering the Spurs (scary) or the Bulls

Phoenix signs ALL the point guards!

Yes they are. Olshey will have a lot of reasonable contracts and interesting pieces that should give him flexibility and enable him to make trades in the future, if the deal is right.

I dreamed that Odom was banging a Kardashian in the front row of a Lakers game, and nobody noticed.

 

[MickZagger]

Why....they have Bledsoe....

....and Dragic and Ennis....

 

[BigGameDamian]

Isaiah Thomas has reached agreement with the Phoenix Suns and will be dealt as a sign-and-trade on a four-year, $27 million contract.

Thomas is a restricted free agent of the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings will receive a $7 million traded player exception, along with the draft rights to Alex Oriakhi.

Sam Amick reports that the Suns envision a three-guard lineup of Eric Bledsoe, Goran Dragic and Thomas.

Here's how I decipher the 3-team trade.

Cleveland gives Jarrett Jack, Tyler Zeller, Sergey Karasev, Cleveland's 2016 #1 (top 10 protected in 2016, 2017, 2018, unprotected in 2019).

Cleveland gets Boston's 2015 #2 (top 55 protected, otherwise nullified), Ilkan Karaman (2012 #57, plays in Turkey), Edin Bavcic (2006 #56, plays in Greece), Christian Drejer (2004 #51, retired in Denmark).

Brooklyn gives Marcus Thornton, Ilkan Karaman (2012 #57, plays in Turkey), Edin Bavcic (2006 #56, plays in Greece), Christian Drejer (2004 #51, retired in Denmark).

Brooklyn gets Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev.

Boston gives Boston's 2015 #2 (top 55 protected, otherwise nullified).

Boston gets Tyler Zeller, Marcus Thornton, Cleveland's 2016 #1 (top 10 protected in 2016, 2017, 2018, unprotected in 2019).

How much of his salary do we pay if we pick him up for free and buy out Leonard, Claver, Wright, or better, all three?

If they amnesty Boozer we would have to be under the cap and we would submit a bid and if we won we would only pay the bid while chicago covered the rest of his salary.

See? I should be GM.
