    My boy just hollered at me that he saw Bradley Beal walking out of a restaurant in LA with Rob Palinka…… hmmm

    He's getting bought out. If he does end up going there, other teams will be paying Lakers players more than Lakers are paying their players.

    Still a crapshoot in the sense no one is a guarantee even with all the scouting.

    Maybe Beals was interviewing for a job at Rob Lowe's home improvement stores?

    My predictions:
    Dame will not sign anywhere this summer
    CP3 to Milwaukee
    Russ to Dallas
    Horford to GS
    Kuminga to Portland

    What will we give up for Kuminga in your opinion?

    So we'll sign and trade for Kuminga? That's interesting. We aren't one of the teams rumored to be pursuing him. I wouldn't mind it. If we locked him up on a long term deal then we'd have a great three forward rotation with him, Tou and Deni. What would we give up and how much do you think Kuminga would make???

    I don't think he's getting what he wants but unfortunately he's a restricted free agent and if he was going to take the full mle then I think the Warriors would match that just to retain his value. I think he'll end up in a sign and trade situation where he gets between 20-25M a season. For us that could make sense but not with Jerami on the roster and obviously we wouldn't want Kuminga on a contract where we could send out Jerami in a sign and trade.

    Maybe we could get really creative and the deal would be Kuminga on a three year deal 32-16-16 and we trade the Warriors Jerami and a couple of future second round picks... or even the worst of our 2029 FRPs.

    Does anyone know if you can do that front loaded of a deal. I have a feeling the CBA prevents that but maybe it doesn't???

    The incessant posts about Yang…you’re not a fan. Did you have this much passion about every other rookie they have drafted, not being ready or able to play?

    Sure. But it’s a crapshoot I’ll make it out of my driveway without getting hit by a bus. I think there’s more to it than just plain luck
