I would think these are guys on rookie scales that we could pry away from a team. I also think we could probably get a point guard from the Bulls. If that's worth our while.
2015:
Tyus Jones
Bobby Portis
Stanley Johnson
Emmanuel Mudiay
Willie Cauley-Stein
Mario Hezonja
2014:
Bruno Caboclo
T. J. Warren
Noah Vonleh
Nik Stauskas
Julius Randle
Dante Exum
Aaron Gordon
I like Randle more than most. I also like Gordon but i dont know if we could pry him away. He's isn't really a stretch four since he can't shoot the three. Nik Stauskas would be nice to have if we could get him cheap.
Randle would also fit into the trade exception left over from the Grant/Ilyasova trade.
Wonder if OKC could swing some sort of 3 team deal where Clarkson and Randle came to OKC (cap space clearing move for Lakers next summer), and Kanter went to a 3rd team. I think if it was a given Kanter would opt out, then Lakers would do Clarkson/Randle for Kanter straight up.
