    I wonder if he means after the first week of free agency. I still don't see the Lakers using cap space on a guy like CJ unless they get desperate after missing out on a bunch of star free agents. All of their other bigger contracts (except LeBron and Ball) are expiring.

    That would be my guess. The Lakers are holding out for a top FA in July. Then they don't have to give up anything.

    Tristan Thompson would be a huge addition for his O-reb ability.

    I would make this trade yesterday, but.

    The $$$ do not work. The total salaries would need to be within $5 million. The lakers would need to add $13.3+ million in salaries to fit with CJ's max contract.

    Not sure how we can trade CJ's max contract for 2 rookie scale players? Adding more players gets very messy.

    The Laker's plan this summer is to be far enough under the cap to add a big contract. I don't think they have to match in that case.

    They would need to add KCP on their side and we could add one of our lower paid players I think, like Swanigan, just as a salary filler.

    Lakers won't want CJ though.

    Find a way to send Turner+Harkless or Meyers to Atlanta for Bazemore and Lin.

    Hmmmm. Yuck? I'd rather have Harkless (or Meyers) than Bazemore. But I'd rather have Lin than Turner. So...conflicted.

    Why the hell would Atlanta want Turner? They'd be in the same boat as they are now with Bazemore.

    You have to expect obvious mistakes like this from a frickin' fish when he's thinking about a mediocre player named "Rivers".

    We basically have two guards now and Lin would be a nice backup for both Dame and CJ. You bring a guy capable of making plays and scoring off the bench and if it doesn't work he just walks and clears cap or you can sign him for less. Bazemore has an equally bad contract with Turner. I m tired of Turner though, it's going nowhere. Why would you prefer Meyers I don't understand. It's not that Bazemore deserves his contract but he is a much better player.

    Id love to have Harris and Harrell not sure Clips would deal unless you included Nurk & CJ? and give me sweet Lou instead of Marj!
    Isn't Harris a UFA after this year?

    Magic is like Riley always was, likes taller guards.

    For CJ and a first they should, though they would probably want hark over Meyers

    How about going after Thompson & Hood .
    I really think a guy like Hood would help this team. Occurs it would need to be addition by subtraction.
