It doesn't do us much good to be attractive to Giannis if there is no way for us to sign him.
So Dan, as I believe you’ve been a big proponent of saving capspace for 2021, what’s the possible avenue that keeps us strong and competitive enough for Giannis to see this as a viable destination to go to win a championship, but without bringing on the kind of players who will presumably be necessary, but will price us out?
It’s hard not to see this as a catch 22... we can’t spend or we won’t have room, but if we can’t spend we won’t be attractive enough. ... Especially when you consider players like Serge and Kyle being past their primes come decision time...
Just seeing in the other thread that you’ve done a lot of work to explain cap... I’ll go check that out first and THEN come back and demand answers 😎Last edited by GOLDBLUM; Fri Sep 18, 2020, 05:12 PM.

Aka if we acquire Beal we won’t have cap room?

That said, I don't think you need to have a stacked team to get Giannis. He doesn't strike me as a KD type of player wanting a ready-made superteam to join. He would be looking to join a good/winning organization with a solid culture and promising young talent that he can put over the top for championships. If he wanted an easy route he'd be looking to join Lebron/AD/Curry/Klay/Kawhi, or KD himself etc... He's not that guy.

As as for the older players, yeah they likely aren’t part of the sales pitch (though the foolish part of me holds out hope Lowry would take a cheap one year to fit Giannis before getting a bigger deal the year after). It’s Pascal, OG, Fred, and then a supporting cast of TD, Thomas, and hopefully Hernandez if he impresses this year. Then depth from their picks.

Lowry is going to drop off at some point. Im
mot really counting for him to be our #1 or #2 option even next year. I don’t really see how we get Beal without trading Siakam and or OG. Giannis is our long shot at superstar free agent, put I’m not confident he will leave MIL or come here.

What team deserves to be despised more than this version of the lakers?
Klutch the tamperers, lebron the tamperer, AD the complicit tampered and look at the way Dwight Howard plays these days and Rondo and Morris
Butthead team....and the refs in their pocket
