This is very simple. Trez didn’t want to return to the clippers but loved LA. Will prove himself once again to get a big contract It’s no scam or collusion simple **** blame PG for him dipping
If you honestly think the best deal that Harrell could have gotten was a 2 year MLE deal in a day where Joe Harris got $19 million a year and Meyers Leonard got $10 a year then I don’t know what else to tell you
Run it back with a cyborg and a player who disappears in the playoffs...or go play with the greatest player of this generation and one of the best young players in the game? No-brainer. And with Dwight out of there, Harrell will get even more playing time.
He had a deal for Charlotte on the table. He said he’ll naw. Play with the Lakers on season opt out when teams have more money. It was no substantial deal for him. He would had to settle for less outside of maybe Charlotte. He chose right lol and the guys u mentioned were already on their teams so it was easier to pay them. No other team would pay them that
I wonder how much Charlotte offered him. If it was 10-12 mill yea he made the right choice. But if it was substantially more I think he should have taken it
Trez has a lot holes in his game. He's a really good scorer at the center position but he can't really defend well at the center position. He's 6'7. He's not a great shooter. I actually think the Lakers were better with Dwight as the backup 5 than Trez. He'll just get in AD's way in the paint and still force him to defend the center position which he hates.
The last playoffs really hurt his stock. From estimates of 20+ M to much much less. Honestly as much as I hate the Lakers, playing with LeBron gets you paid. If he can prove himself this year with the biggest spotlight he can come back next year to a more cash flush FA market and make bank. I see no collusion here. Also, Trez, and Doc's insistence to keep him in the game, might be the reason they lost to the Nuggets. So I wouldn't be going around screaming that this is the move that stacks the deck for the Lakers.
Why didn't the clippers just pay him? Give him 20 mil a year. A lot of scrubs are getting over paid this year.
Lebron runs the nba Chris Paul was traded to the suns. The gm there is James Jones. James Jones and Lebron are real close friends that used to play nba 2k before games when they played together. Cp3 is gonna get bought out by the suns and join the lakers mid season
“A reported rift with Kawhi Leonard may have led to the Clippers moving on from Harrell” https://www.theringer.com/2020/11/2...-free-agency-montrezl-harrell-wesley-matthews “Harrell turned down more money from Charlotte to join the Lakers.”
yea i don't understand how teams are spending so much money this free agency when 1) it's not even a strong FA class, and 2) teams are supposedly cash-strapped bc of corona. marcus morris, bertans, joe harris, jerami grant, gallinari, malik beasley... all these guys are getting $16-20mil/year contracts.... wtf?!? and we all thought ryno at $18m/yr was bad...
