    Yeah that's true.

    But there could have been something to it. Lebron and SAS are pretty close, SAS is basically his mouthpiece at times. Knowing that Lebron was also trying to get Kawhi to come to the Lakers and what he did with the heat Lebron has no shame in stacking the deck to collect championships so I wouldn't be surprised if he considered going there.

    like I said I don’t know all the rules and regulations save for the common knowledge (bird rights, trade exception etc) that’s why I’m asking is there any way to create flexibility? Dunno it’ll be interesting

    Fair enough, I would be okay with both used in a facetious way, but that's me.

    I dont want either of those players. Way overpaid , and not that good. Get Markieff Morris or someone like that. Tilman might not even pay an extra 3 mil , no way we take on Love or TT contract. ( i dont even think the cap math is possible)

    Nope, to me it seems IMPOSSIBLE but I am even less knowledgable about the cap than many here - who do follow it more closely, but as good as some here are, they are not Morey good.....so, there might be a way we never even considered......dunno.

    A cover-up so they can say at least tried. Nothing to look here. We have got a cheap owner and tool GM.
