News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

It's ironic the Lakers are searching for additional stars when they already have the rights to one right now. Go get em Zanik!

The Lakers now have just 3 players on their roster, Lebron, AD and Kuzma.

That is a nice easy pickup for Washington.

Are we calling Caruso a star now? Seems like they will hold on to him now, but who knows.

LOL... I bet AD won't get any under the table compensation from the Lakers, Lebron and Rich Paul through any other business... laughable. They are turning the league into a joke.

Space Jam bonus coming... super easy.

Space Jam 2 payin big money.

In all honesty, AD will make more than $4MM just from moving to LA. Marketing makes a difference for these guys.

Correct he will likely be a multi time all star. If he signs an offer on July 6 they can't keep him because his cap hold jumps. He hasn't made any real nba money yet... so I'm not sure it'd take a big offer at all to get him to sign.

This makes me nervous that the Lakers will land Kawhi. If so that is another super team and if healthy they will easily win it all.

Yep. Kyrie, Kemba, Kawhi, or Klay and the NBA is right back to Warriors and everybody else. It took 2 injuries to take that team down.

Caruso is the new guard version of Mirotic. By the 1st people will be telling you how much better he is than Rubio...

^see... I told you

If Kawhi goes to the lakers, he'd instantly become the next worse version of Durant. At least Durant lost the finals before joining a superteam.

Maybe, although I am guessing some younger teams with plenty of room might make him a decent offer. Its not like he is unknown and every team is desperate for good shooters.

He is a RFA right? So if we made him an offer the Lakers would have until the 8th to match if we made it right on the 6th?
