1 Year Mega Mega
If the lakers sign some mid-tier free agent to a multi-year deal worth anything over 6 million dollars, we should all storm Staples Center with torches and pitchforks!
However, that won't happen, I have faith in Rob and Magic.
There's been talks about the Lakers offering some of these mid-tier free agents the 1-Year Mega Mega.
I love this idea, imo it's the 2nd smartest way to capitalize on our cap-space. The 1st being replicable to the Jose Calderon deal last year. Taking on a hefty-expiring contract w/ assets attached to give other teams immediate flexibility. But anyways, I digress.
Who should we be targeting to overpay for 1 year?
After doing my post on my predictions for the rotation, it was evident we could use:
A. Lockdown Defender on the wing/backcourt.
B. Sharpshooter on the wing/backcourt.
C. Pass First Backup-PG
D. If none of the above then a Reclamation Project

Re: 1 Year Mega Mega
We don't need any bigs whatsoever.
Here's my list of the people I think we should target.
1. Darren Collison
-Playmaking PG/Off-Ball Shooter
-Underrated Scorer/Playmaker
-Probably won't stay in SAC
-Fits the System
-LA Native
2. Aaron Afflalo
-Tough 3 & D SG
-Respectable enough to start over JC at the 2.
-Definition of a System Player
-Fits the System
-Inconsistent & His best days are behind him
-LA Native
3. CJ Miles
-Solid 3 & D Wing
-Probably leaving IND
-Can we promise enough minutes?
-Fits the system
-Relationship with Paul George?
4. Tyreke Evans
-Backup PG/Off-Ball Slasher
-Out of Shape
-Potential?
-Don't see why he'd stay in SAC
-Versatile
-Not the best fit for our System w/ his streaky jumper
5. Tony Snell
-Unestablished 3 & D Wing
-Only 25
-MIL will match unless we Mega Mega
-Fits the system
-How many Minutes?
-LA Native

Re: 1 Year Mega Mega
Let's match Phillys 20 mil for 1 season of JJ.
Ball needs a 3 point target. JJ already lives in LA. Makes sense.
JJ may want to stay at a discount if we can get team banana boat / George in FA 2018. Be the Mike Miller of the team.

Srsly.. I saw this deal and cringed... This would have been a perfect deal for the Lakers -- given our current situation where we want to protect 2018 cap...
JJ would have been huge for us and would have been interesting to see him playing alongside Ball...

I don't see how Waiters accepts a one year deal, especially he reestablished a little bit of value at the end of the year.

Second year Team Option/non-guaranteed, maybe?
What's the max the FO can offer right now anyway?

Last time I did the numbers before Tariq being waived we were right around 22 million in cap space

As long as it's just for 1 year I don't care how much we overpay a player that can help our youngsters showcase their talents to attract free agents in 2018.

Re: 1 Year Mega Mega
lakernation on facebook just posted about Rajon Rondo. If his willing to play small minutes either as starter or bench role < as long as it's limited he'd be good Mentor for Ball NO? For 1 year of course
Bring back Defense

Re: 1 Year Mega Mega
Snell is off the market. But i wouldn't be against bringing in Evans, only issue is he's a bit too much like Lonzo.
We needed McLemore to put next to him in all honesty. We need a shooter plain and simple.

McLemore went to Memphis. I'm shocked there hasn't been any news (as far as I know) of teams interested in Collison, Evans and Afflalo.

Re: 1 Year Mega Mega
With the lack of cap around the league and openings at the PG position I think Collison could be available for a Nene type of deal. 3-4 years around $10-12 mil. I'd be for that. Most likely even less for Evans and Afflalo.

Re: 1 Year Mega Mega
George Hill on a year would be so perfect. That would be an unbelievable deal. Also for him, a year on the max, then he moves on and gets a big deal wouldn't be bad (look at Swaggy P, he's going to get a ton of money).
