Okay, watching some highlights of Lonzo throwing lobs and I think this is our counter to teams trying to go small against Rudy.

I honestly think he will excel in our system. Probably leas the league in assists within 2 years.

Lonzo would be great but I don't see how we get him unless NOLA really loves Clarkson, Bojan and/or Favors.

Prince should really belong to us as we traded that draft pick for the rental of George Hill.

So do we have the full MLE if he walks?

We would be under the luxury tax by about 6M.

If we traded Bogey, Clarkson and Ingles we could free up 25.5M of actual cap space.

So could we offer Lonzo the full MLE and be into the tax just a lil bit? And this is without doing anything but letting Conley walk?

Lonzo would have to come via sign and trade. They won't let him leave for nothing.

Bojan really fits well in NOLA. They need shooting to space for Zion and Ingram.

Bojan and #30 for Lonzo makes sense for me.

NOLA might want more. A lot depends on how much Lonzo expects in a contract.

If we get lonzo, we get those sneaky half court passes and a shot blocking PG. He blocked bogey twice.

And we get a younger franchise PG whose playstyle fits with Donovan. It would be a great foundational move

Lonzo is not going to sign for anywhere near the MLE.

It would have to be something like LoPo suggested.

We can let Conley walk or sign-and-trade him while getting less than 10.2M in return.

We can trade Bogey and 30 for Lonzo in a sign-and-trade. Lonzo is expected to get anywhere from 18M-20M a year which is right where Bogey’s salary is at.

Then we can use the tax payer MLE on a wing defender.

We can't trade Conley in any scenario. It's sign him or let him walk.

As for a sign and trade, we could entice Lonzo by offering him more money than any other team wants to give. This kind of forces NOLAs hand if Lonzo doesn't want to be there and Utah is willing to give him more than they would want to match on.

4 years $80 million for Lonzo? Bojan and #30 go the other way?

Use Clarkson or Bojan in a trade for Lonzo. Probably prefer to keep Bojan. Sign OPJ.

Donovan
Lonzo
Bojan
OPJ
Rudy
