20 mill a Jerami Grant seems....... excessive.

Wes Matthews?

Montrez Harrell? Maybe but also

Harrell has awesome energy and hustle but he legit cost the Clippers games with his poor interior defense. I'd rather have Ibaka or go cheaper with Nerlens Noel

Pistons just spending money. They don't even care.

He’s a better fit with the Lakers imo

Lebron will find him...AD alongside. Nice defensive combo

I don't think so. There's better options. Harrell is good, but what he's good at, the Lakers don't really need. And it looks like they used up most if not all of their MLE to get him. Ibaka, Marc Gasol, Noel, hell bringing back Dwight were better options. Probably a few other guys too. You're basically gonna have to hid him on defense by playing AD at the 5, but since he can't shoot anything from outside, it's gonna complicate things on offense as well. This is really a curious decision.

Dwight is not a better option. Gasol is at the end of his time.

We dont know if Ibaka is interested or that was the best option

Well there goes my pipe dream of him taking a one year deal for 9M with the Warriors. Lol

 

[Sparhawk]

Unexpected...

Dwight isn't a better player. But contract wise, he can be a better option. They used the full MLE on Trez. Dwight was gonna be like 3 mil. Lakers could have used that cash on some other players. Adding Trez basically just gives them some offense when AD and Lebron are out. He and Schroder should do well, but I do not think its that great a fit to have Trez out there. If they were gonna steal a Clipper, I would have rather they stole Marcus Morris

Like I said, only other player was Ibaka to use on that full MLE. It sounds like he wants to play with KD.

Who else could have been used for the full MLE? TT? Maybe

Trez is a pretty solid defender and better than he played last year. Chemistry was just not there

Austin Rivers would actually be a great fit for the Warriors right now. They need a backup PG and SG and he could operate as both.

Thompson would have been a nice option too. But its not just about using the full MLE on a specific guy. If they needed to use it on someone (like Ibaka), that's fine. But I'd prefer it to be on a player that would be a better fit. And if you can't find a guy like that, I'd rather break up the MLE and spread it around on a 2 to 3 players

Oh shit. It might be back on

Of course but really donr think there are many options out there. This FA isn’t great and doesn’t have much depth tbh

I disagree a bit on this. It's not great up top at all. But there's quite a bit of depth for role players and that's exactly what the Lakers are in the market for.
