    If you could sign him to a multi year, absolutely. But getting him this year would most likely be a 1 year rental, in which he may not play. And how much would that 1 year cost.

    I know that is an exaggeration but certain teams would rather be hard capped then pay that much in luxury tax.

    The deals so far have been surprisingly tame. Only one that was kind of out there was Zach Collins, but it's just a 3 year deal anyways, and not huge money.

    Thanks for clearing that up. So the Lakers can't use the sign & trade without being Hard Capped?

    How would it be a 1 year rental. It would be a sign and trade. We wouldn't give up anything of value to get him for 1 year. Come on now.

    They can send a player out unfortunately, so yeah they can sign and trade Schroder. You can't acquire a player via sign and trade without being hard capped. Sorry, I should have made that clearer.

    Might get slaughtered for saying this but with the Siakam injury I might call up Philly and pony up CJ/3 1s for Simmons. I mean whens the last time one of our mid 20s picks hit anyway? Simmons is only 24 and fills the PF and backup PG needs. I say roll the dice.

    Dame
    Norm
    RoCo
    Simmons
    Nurk

    is the best lineup we have had in 20 years.

    Now that Norm in definitely in-tow I do think I would go a little more aggressive on a deal with CJ (as in give away a couple 1sts with him or a 1st and swap picks and anfarnee or something) where I wouldn't had Norm left.

    You still have to pay him. He's gonna sign a vet. Min. for a year to join us. If he was to sign a vet. min. then Hell Yes! Even for a hurt one year.

    He would never agree to a sign & trade to us. He's ALL LA.

    How? I don't think he is better than CJ personally. Maybe if they threw in a 1st and 2nd.

    I've never been a fan of his on offense. He can get to the basket and play D though. Still, not sold on it.

    I think he gets to the line quite a bit too? Or maybe I am wrong. Someone correct me on DeRozan. But I do think I would consider it (but not thrilled necessarily).
