What stands out to me is how did the Lakers fleece the rest of the league and their own guy and sign Austin Reeves 4/56?

Exactly.
That deal doesn't kick in until next season and is about 27.2M per year. If the cap rises 10% in each year of the deal...
Year 1: 27M on 149.6 = 18% of cap
Year 2: 27M on 164.6 = 16.4% of cap
Year 3: 27M on 181.1 = 15% of cap
Year 4: 27M on 199.2 = 13.5% of cap
Year 5: 27M on 219.2 = 12.3% of cap
It *seems* like a lot because we're used to it being a lot, but if the cap does keep steadily rising like everyone is projecting, it's really not that much.

This stance admittedly has to ignore plus minus and lineup analysis, and rely heavily on counting stats and the eye test, but I'm 100% comfortable taking it. Highest usage with a massive free throw rate are two advanced metrics to focus on, if we need advanced stats for this argument. He was our 1st option and he transformed our ability to win at the line. His impact was transformative. We did not make the jump we did because of Franz, we made it because of Paolo. I don't think it's overly critical that we allocate credit perfectly between the two, but if we mistakenly deprioritize Paolo and for whatever reason lose out on him we might as well go back to tanking.zaymon wrote:JoshuaPotter wrote:
Correction but not a big one.
We will go as far as Franz, Paolo, Suggs take us this year.
Suggs in the SL is the outlier of outliers. When you think about it, he is the player that has the potential to get our current back-court out of 20-30th "best"

Otherwise again, nobody is wrong.
We can list every player in the rotation becouse every player contributes. If we want to be correct we should mention Franz first and WCJ second becouse he was our second best player last year.
Paolo is mostly potential and propably year away from real impact. Suggs is impactful but only on one side of the floor.
Lets be honest, our real difference maker is Franz. We could replace Banchero with Isaac or Suggs with Harris and it would be similar or better product this season. You replace Franz and we are back at the bottom.

I obviously don’t know anything as I have no inside information.
But a pattern is forming here. First WCJ and now Cole. I have to assume we simply don’t bid against ourselves. Other teams are likely just agreeing to what the agents ask for because they can afford it. However, we aren’t playing that game.
I’m going to assume when the time comes for Franz and Paolo we will see some much larger numbers.

Their nba takeaways are:
Nuggets won't repeat- they have 5 men roster and bunch of Europe bound bodies
Celtics won't survive regular season with no depth either.
Warriors are old.
NBA title favorites: Bucks.
Most interesting teams to watch: Spurs, OKC & Pacers.
Dark horse for biggest positive suprise - Pacers.
Magic related: potential to make big leap. They really don't like Banchero all that much. They said Franz is much better player overall.
Most irritating teams: 76ers ( drama, drama) and Heat ( boring basketball)
