Half the fans have no clue about how the salary cap works.
And about half of the fans that do have some knowledge is based off nba2k.
It’s really detailed how free agency, s&t, mle, etc work for different tax levels…
Even if we somehow got a max slot if Lebron left, who tf were we going to sign? Paul George? Tobias Harris? 💀
I don’t think anyone has said that.
didn’t Lebron lead the team in assists?? Lakers were a top 10 team in assists…how is Lebron not a team player?? I thought the knock on him is he passes to teammates too much…this is crazy lol…
Assuming DLo walks, that number is about $100m. So it’s more than the $11m floated here. And that’s before the team starts trading other guys to free money up if there’s actually a max contract to offer.
How bout if DLO leaves too? That’s probably around somewhere close to $30M in cap space but still you’re not replacing Bron.
What fans also seldom take into consideration is that the cap will go up, and it will go up quite a bit with the new TV deals.
Cap implications today will look drastically different compared to cap implications 1-2 years from now.
