Ball , Hart & Ingram going to the Pelicans + 3 draft picks I think they said.
Less players than I was expecting but a shed load of draft picks though.

- Don't mind the player losses actually ... not sure how the whole draft picks thing really works either .....
- So they might have kept McGee and Kuzma .... going to need at least another decent in ...

Very much a novice when it comes to the NBA and players but the article I was reading mentioned the following :-

Kawhi Leonard, Toronto
Kemba Walker, Charlotte
Kyrie Irving, Boston
Jimmy Butler, Philadelphia
Tobias Harris, Philadelphia
D'Angelo Russell, Brooklyn
Khris Middleton, Milwaukee

LeBron and Davis might be so good, all they need is "magic" to suit up :)

Some handy names on that list but I think they "only" have 25mil to fill up a few positions. @Nathan is much better at this sort of stuff.

It’s almost impossible to understand but listen to a lot of stuff from people I think understand it..rough guide if you can be bothered

I think the smart choice for lakers would be using the approx 23mil on a combination of Beverley/Green/Noel/Rivers types that can at least play some defence..

Early reports on signing Kemba but that’s only if Davis waives an 8mil kicker in his contract so more likely a T.Harris type, then would really need to scrape the barrel to fill the roster..

OR they could just spend whatever the hell they want and pay luxury tax.
