15 Days until the LOTTERY!
They extend Zion. Next season Westbrook's contract expires and Zion becomes the black version of fat bast*rd. The Pelicans deal the unprotected picks in the trade to the Spurs for some role player to be determined. A few years down the road, the Spurs use the pick to select the next Tim Duncan.
There, I fixed it for ya.
Lakers can always reload on the fly. That's how that franchise operates.
Just sign other teams stars and no long years of trying to find a star in the draft.
They won’t have cap room this summer. The first FRP that they can trade to offload Westchuck’s contract is 2027, and somehow, I don’t see one pick being enough for a team to eat $47M.
1 would be great but anything in the top 4 is really about equal value..
Even if the Lakers could somehow unload Westbrook into cap space they would have around $22M in cap space assuming the cap is $122M, and that's before taking into account roster charges. If I'm doing the math right that's around $9M, leaving them with $13M of space. That's not much more than the MLE, and they would have to fill out the 15-man roster with all minimums and the room exception after that.
They could clear up tons of 2023 cap space with only 2 players under contract: AD $40.6M and THT $11M. They should have their pick of free agents if they don't add a bunch of 2+ year contract money this summer. That assumes that LeBron leaves, though. If he re-ups for $50M or so they would be back to around $25M of cap space before roster charges.
It's going to be interesting to see what the Lakers eventually do with Lebron, especially since he's already on record saying he wants to play one year with his son before he retires. He was an ironman for years, but that's just not the case anymore at age 37.
Rolled only once today and ended up with the #4 pick. Not going to roll again out of a made up supers ion i just created in my mind right now
Rolled one time and hit #1 pick. Let’s keep the positive vibes
Rolled one and got 10, no joke. Sacramento jumped from 6 to 1, OKC was 2, Orlando 3 and NY jumped 7 spots to 4!
Did you even watch the tournament, it was foul trouble that kept him out. I contend that the refs didn't let him play with the same degree of aggression they were allowing his opponents to. I would take him #1 overall personally.
My first 3 rolls SA stayed where they are.
4th roll they went up to #2.
I'm going to follow Dejounte's lead and stop right there for now.
May the balls be ever in our favor.
It'll be exciting when they get to 9 and the Spurs name is not called.
I'm curious, it seems that a lot of the spins on the tankathon lottery wheel are coming up #4. What is the #4 pick in this years draft worth in trade ? Another pick in the lottery, a decent player and a lightly protected pick in next years draft. Any thoughts ? Or do we just keep the pick at 4.
This year's lottery anticipation seems much higher than previous years.

Nah, you keep a fourth pick if you're the spurs right now. Don't wanna lose a potential future star on a relatively cheap contract for 4 years who will fit well with your developing roster.
The vibes are pointing to the Spurs getting a top four pick.
Unless the Spurs name has already been called . . .
Tank a Thon.
That can be a possibility but not expecting that to happen.
because we actually have a shot to move up
