Randle. He'll come cheaper.

LAKESHOW · Post #662 » by **LAKESHOW** » Tue May 8, 2018 3:36 pm

We have the purchasing power to get capella or randle. Capella AND randle. Capella Randle and PG. All options are available. NOT saying that is what we should do, but to say possibilities are wide open and numerous. Especially in this Cap Climate. Teams right now are hitting Luxury Tax hell. And we are set up for more than just the unrestricted free guys. There are several restricted we can literally scare teams into giving to us. Ive mentioned before, we can throw big numbers at Capella. If Houston Matches, that would cripple them from getting others. If they don't, then we get said player. It's wide open. Magic and his boys are now...on the clock, to make it happen.

Neither. Wait until 19. See if Lebron and PG comes this year.

I feel like one of the more likely scenarios is we Max PG, resign Randle, and resign IT and Lopez to one year deals. The question is, how far can this team go?

Ball (32) IT (16)
Ingram (32) IT (16)
PG (32) Kuzma (16)
Randle (32) Kuzma (16)
Lopez (24) ZuBryant1st (24)

Looks good on paper, but probably a 1st round exit. Im not sold on Lopez being a starting center for a championship caliber team. Dude can alter shots, but he just can't rebound. Im fine with the rest of the team though, although we would be thin from a shooters standpoint.

You know Randle and Capela are FAs this season right?

Capella is going to get paid more i think than Randle. If i had a choice, i'd go Capella because of fit and potential.

Similarish to my preferred semi-realistic idea of flipping Randle for Turner (Turner fits us and Randle and Sabonis front court in Indiana gives McMillan piece of mind).

Capela is going to get max bc he is hyped by the media and bc lot of teams would wanna push the Rockets above the cap by giving him max and by forcing them to match that . And he is bad one on one and completely depends on open looks and lobs that playmakers on his team make .

It would probably require us to get rid of Deng giving up assets, but how sweet would be this be?

Randle + Capela + PG13

Lonzo - Ingram - PG13 - Randle/Kuzma - Capela

I know it may seem more appealing waiting for 2019 and getting a more glorified FA then grabbing Capela, but this would totally blend in perfectly in our system. I mean he and Randle are truly mean to play together, they would complement each other so good it's crazy. plus we have great shooters that would leave them space in the post to do their thing and Lonzo would obviously benefit so much from having Capela throwing down lobs and putbacks.

I think Capella is getting calls that he might not get on other teams, such as dubious picks and push offs on rebounds.

He even blocked shots off the glass that they didn't call.

But Lakers have favorable officiating for big men, such as Shaq so maybe he'll keep getting those calls.

1. Traded Luol Deng, Cavaliers 2018 First Round Pick and CHI 2019 Second Round Pick for Kent Bazemore
2. Traded Kent Bazemore, Brandon Ingram, Ivica Zubac, and Lakers 2020 First Round Pick (unprotected) for Kawhi Leonard

Capela is a poor man's Randle... No thanks.

Yes. I don’t think Randle signs long term anywhere. He’ll have a larger market next year and could get more money if he has another good year.

Not sure how many times will offer Randle this summer ( of the 7 with cap space) with it MAYBE just being a contract year performance.

CC will get locked up in Houston. Don’t see Moryl letting him walk, even if Lebron was interested.

Congrats, you got us the 9th seed! Terrible.You also gave away our most promising future while limiting our future in terms of cap space. Excellent job!

Ball (32) IT (16)
Ingram (32) IT (16)
PG (32) Kuzma (16)
Randle (32) Kuzma (16)
Lopez (24) ZuBryant1st (24)

10th seed at best. PG is good, but very very inconsistent. IT is a bum and Lopez is questionable half the time.

Long as we don’t give anyone long term contracts, I’d be okay with this assuming we didn’t trade our 19 pick.

Sedale Threatt · Post #676 » by **Sedale Threatt** » Wed May 9, 2018 3:36 pm

Capela is a textbook example of fit. You'd be hard-pressed to find many players who complement Paul and especially Harden better. He's just perfect for them. Tremendous finisher, doesn't need touches to make a difference, hits the glass hard, blocks shots ... exactly what they need to round out their arsenal of shooters and playmakers. One of Morey's best decisions. I just don't see him having nearly the same impact on too many other teams, including ours. We still have too many needs at this point -- shooting, MVP-caliber star power -- to be throwing major cash at what is still, as great as he is for the Rockets, a role player. If we needed a player to push us over the hump, that would be a different story.

LAKESHOW · Post #677 » by **LAKESHOW** » Wed May 9, 2018 4:12 pm

We need a tweener type guy, draymond green type. A guy who can defend bigs with strength, but mobile enough to play multiple positions. Diverse. This is what Randle can be. As I've said, he's earned his stripes this year. But also what coach Luke has said, he CAN BE so much more. He has to develop a shooting stroke outside of 3 feet. Randle developing a perimeter game? Dawg, he would get closer to Max than he would ever be. He has toughness. Strength. A power game. Defend But in this era, he needs a shot. Can he do that? I am puzzled, I seriously have no idea if he can do it. Because in playoff situations, they leave Draymond Green wide open on the perimeter. Guess what will happen with Randle? He will have to become a playmaker and shot taker.

Post #678 » by **dockingsched** » Wed May 9, 2018 7:42 pm

Capela and Randle have totally different skill sets and roles they fill, confused about the direct comparison.

(edit)

Would you want us to nab him on a modest contract? Maybe ditch Randle.

I would - he's a worthwhile reclamation project, at the right price. And absolutely not losing Julius to gain JO

You know Randle's cap hold is only going to go up right? This'll be the cheapest his cap hold will ever be
