    My guess is guys like Jamychal and the Morris brothers are waiting on the Lakers/Kawhi. If Kawhi goes to the Lakers I could easily see the Morris brothers take the minimum to go play there. If Kawhi doesn’t go there, then I could see the Lakers paying someone like Jamychal.

    Or Chriss just sucks and isn't worth a roster spot.

    Go at Quinn Cook. Solid backup.

    Didn't CJ and Joufos play high school ball together? Granted, it looks like CJ is in grade school in this picture...

    If Jake gets an offer from ANYWHERE else, I think the Blazers let him go and add another big while still keeping one roster spot open.

    I have been wondering exactly how far Cousin's stock has fallen?

    Why? We need a rebounding PF AND a playmaking PG. He's not either.

    We can always use more shooting but this doesn't make much sense.

    Why are you seemingly so okay with letting Jake walk all of a sudden?

    Korver would fit for sure.

    Why not? You let Layman walk and keep Korver all day long.

    As a defender of Layman Island, it's not 'okay with it' so much as it's just the reality of the situation. I've had numerous media people say Stotts seemed irked anytime he was asked about him last year. He yanked him at almost every possibility and now that there are more wings and their high potential Draft pick plays the same position, I just don't see him getting any run.

    Better to go somewhere else where they want you and you get a chance to play.

    Dame
    CJ
    Bazemore/Hood
    Collins
    Whiteside

    Simons
    Hood/Bazemore
    Korver
    Hezonja
    Collins

    You could be right?
    But i sure hate watching players- Barton- Pat Con- Layman go to other teams and become solid role players and even starters.

    How much money is still out there? Waiting to see if Toronto, Lakers or Clips get Kawhi but once that’s decided there’s going to be another rush of money to overpay the few remaining decent players.

    Yeah you let go of Layman for Korver is my thinking also. Dude makes shots. Big Ones!

    Only way we have a shot at Korver is if Kawhi stays in Toronto. Korver grew up in LA as a lakers fan. He’ll probably end up there regardless.
