Sacramento still definitely a possibility. Doing Derozan (to a third team) and Saric for Collins gets them some breathing room from the tax and they need some frontcourt help still. They also may find a home for Monk in some sort of three way. Its still kind of wild to me that Monk and Sexton...

Player Option on that second year. Go ahead and plan to buy that out now. JJ is going to murder Ayton. This is gonna be great.

Yeah... I'd say he's in a reasonable "meets expectations" zone for muscle watch season. After summer league put another good 5 lbs on. I just want him to have enough meat on the bones so that we don't have to hear the "you can't judge him on what he is doing because he's too skinny" excuse.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Gu4TMJNWYAAXI2q?format=jpg&name=large Cody looks visibly bigger through the shoulders. Looks healthy. Its a starting point

He said he looks like he has... He didn't put Cody on a scale. He looks a bit bigger based on pics. I wouldn't fully doubt 20lbs but its not 20 lbs of muscle or close to it.

Probably true. To make another argument on your side... we'd also likely be sitting with 30-40M in cap space right now which would likely produce some nice benefits in facilitating deals. I think we have a path to recover from the mess up. But it might just stay what it is.

I agree. I wasn't pitching the idea. I think its a meh Collins for Rozier and some seconds or nothing at this point.

Anything from 25-30M AAV just get it done imo... but its not a hard line. I doubt he wants a lot more than that based on the noise around it. If someone comes in with a big offer and you could have locked him down at 30 or traded him for everything the Lakers are offering... Its a tremendous...

Part of the this was the optionality (I get it... its a hiss and a byword) but everything since the Lauri extension broke the wrong way basically. - Cody was trash... if we had a rookie who popped immediately then maybe you want a guy in his prime. - Taylor snapped his leg in half... similar...

From where. I mean I threw it out on X yesterday but haven't seen it anywhere.

If Det does it its like Harris and a second... lol at Ausar or anything of real long term value.

25M a year or maybe slightly frontloaded really doesn't change our world cap wise over the 15M caphold he has. Might matter more for a team like the Lakers with real cap space power. It isn't a reason for us to hold off locking up a guy imo. He balls out and the Wiz or Nets throw out 40M because...

25-30m per for 5 years is my guess at where it falls.

I saw this... couldn't make it work for us in our situation really. Its the Lakers though and I think they still LOVE Kessler.

You've been saying it. AA has no attachment to the players we have. So I can see a move with either Walker or Lauri. The beat writers have been pretty consistent saying it won't happen but we did run some smoke and mirrors during the draft so who knows.

Okay but that's a big mean guy... you get to tell him he's sitting in a contract year for a team he has no attachment to.

Gotta move one of Collins/Kessler/Lauri... just have to.

Front court gets crowded pretty quick with Lauri/Walker/Collins/Flip/Nurk... if we are giving away money and value to clear logjams... why not clear that up a bit so Taylor and Ace get a few more minutes?

Loop in the Kings JV deal and take Saric... send Derozan to Miami, Collins to Sacramento, Rozier and Saric to Utah. Both teams send a second rounder to Utah. Kings clear some guards and money to bring in Russ. Obviously I would love to get Carter and now he is like the 4th string pg... but...

He's cheap for 3 years... why not?
