    That was what they had to say. Now it's clearly a full on rebuild for them. Let the bidding begin.

    I'd do a JR Smith for Evan Turner trade. Just for the yuks.

    This is Olshey we're talking about, he's way too conservative to do anything like this.

    Even if the plan is to trade him that is exactly what they would say.

    Neil thinks Caleb Swanigan can be like a Kevin Love type. And Nik Stauskas can be a Kyle Korver.

    They need to meet a minimum salary threshold, while acquiring future assets and at the same time tanking.

    ET and Meyers would fit the bill perfectly. And when their contracts become expiring they would be attractive to deal.

    They have $106M in active salaries--they're well above the salary floor. And even if they were below, you honestly think they'd rather pay ET & Meyers for two years rather than just pay the penalty?

    I hope Neil doesn’t completely fuck us with a Collins/ET/1st for Love:(

    I think Love winding up in LA makes some sense. Maybe a sign and trade for Randle or a combination of Deng/Randle for Love and spare parts. With the handful of 1 year contracts they handed out today, it appears LA is trying to keep as much cap space as possible for Leonard next off-season, but I can't see James agreeing to that strategy and conceding a year in his prime. Love gives them a fighters chance by filling a need and giving James some on-court familiarity. The Lakers could still chase Leonard next off season with some additional cost cutting trades.

    I doubt Love wants to play with James again.
    I also think that players are seeing the negative side of playing with Lebron.

    Apparently, Kawhi, Durrant, PG13 and others see their current situations as being much better than teaming up with Lebron in LA.
