Part of why Jordan fans don't like Bron and why Air Jaundice feels threatened and released that do entary
There is this thing called a “cap hold”, genius: (Davis opting out would have been an advantage if he was on a rookie deal & was going to resign for a max ala 2015 Kawhi which opened up cap space for Softridge)
The general purpose of a cap hold is to prevent teams from using room under the cap to sign free agents before using Bird rights to re-sign their own free agents. If a team wants to take advantage of its cap space, it can renounce the rights to its free agents, eliminating those cap holds.
Lemme see, you know more than Dudz? Okay. At the end of the day let's see if you or Dudz is right.
It will be interesting to see if there is one team that has the right combination of desperation, financial reserve, and expiring contracts to outdo our offer for CP0.
You farmers may not value our players (think Kwame for MVPau) but teams value our players expiring contracts. Several key players that helped us rang are on deals that expire after 2021 season. In this example, we trade them to OKC for CP0 and absorb his remaining 2yr/$85M contract.
OKC has obvious incentive to help the Lakers. Why? No fans in a small market city. How can they afford his salary during COVID-19? Even during the Lakers 7yr playoff drought they still made money hand over fist. The Lakers also have that $4Billion contract with Spectrum (biggest deal in NBA). So even without fans they can afford to field a team with 3 max players and 12 vet minimum players. Lakers would still be favorites although they are top heavy.
And they could swing other lesser deals using expiring deals as incentive for teams to cough up good players they can no longer afford.
So Dudz is right. Having expiring deals is just as good as having cap space IMO. The rich gets richer
LAL now has 2nd best coach in city by far but will it be enough to tip the tide?
Ty > Vogel? Defense won it for the Lakers. I think we shining shoes if Ty were on the bench tbh.
Vogel is 3rd string plug and play coach who never played obvious lineups till LAL lost. LBJ is shadow coach as well.
Let's not short change Rondo. His ability to dissect film was key to Vogel's defensive schemes vs some premiere perimeter scorers like Dame, Harden, and Jamal Murray.
L*kers fans not knowing how cap space works
Spur fan not realizing how trades with small market teams work
Spur fan thinking you need cap space to improve your roster
