Justin Schultz:

My sense for a while has been #LeBron to the #Lakers — and I do NOT believe that is predicated off of LA getting Paul George, Kawhi or any other superstar. I believe Bron is a Laker regardless. Another player will not change this...

Why so much hate on PG potentially staying in OKC? They took a gamble and used the season to pitch him and it may actually pay off. Goes to show that more teams should've been willing to throw themselves in the mix for last offseason. And it's nice for once that smaller market team isn't just a farm system for the Lakers.
couldn't agree more.  happy for OKC if PG really does resign with them. even happier Lakers whiff on him

Baynes has no other planned meetings besides Boston. Hopes to come to an agreement with Boston quickly and forgo meeting other teams.

Hopefully we reach an agreement quickly with Aron, then we can focus on Marcus.

These moves by the Lakers to cut Ullis and Bryant might be an indication of something more than Lebron coming. They'd likely keep those guys to fill out the roster if Lebron was the only move.

I think that's the weird thing here, because George sounds like he is going back to OKC and Cousins is going back to NOP.

Who else would be worthy of big money?

This may not be happening, but I wonder if Paul goes there for the max because the Rockets aren't willing to pay him. Then, I wonder if Wade follows.

Then, I wonder if Melo gets bought out to save OKC on the luxury tax and goes to LA.

Banana boat 5 years late.

These moves help them keep Randle’s cap hold.

I don't understand that connection. Why couldn't they keep his cap hold with Bryant and Ullis and sign James?

Could also be Boogie on a short-term max. There's a lot of conjecture out there right now, but Kevin O'Connor is saying its a possibility.

Because the universe revolves around the Cs, the Celtics narrative about this is that the Pelicans talent would continue to be lowered, while the cap would be close to maxed out.

There's a scenario where Davis becomes available after the inevitable downward trend in Mirotic's game and Holliday/Davis injuries.

I'm hearing the Lakers have interest in bringing Cousins (as a backup plan) on a short-term deal with Lebron. I definitely don't think that would work.

Sorry, got cut off by a child who hit submit.  It helps them keep Randle’s cap hold and be able to trade for Kawhi centered around Ingram using cap room only, and not having to match salaries.

Mannix reporting that the Nuggets will resign Barton on a 4 year/50 million contract.

Not only is that a huge tax hit for the Nuggets, but this takes one big under-the-radar target for the Sixers. He may not be Leonard or George, but he is another good shot creator, which is something the Sixers seriously lacked.

Lebron and Boogie would be so dominant together, assuming DMC is healthy.

Either Chandler or Faried will be moved with a 1st.

On the other hand, that’s one target less for Indy, who is thought to be a Smart suitor.
