[SHAMS] KCP Back to Lakers, 3 yrs 40 mil.....

[markjay]

Wonder if the 3rd year is team option

Edit: Shams says that third year is partially guaranteed.

[Wolves21]

LeBron/Schroder
KCP/Caruso
Matthews/
AD/Kuzma
McGee/Harrell


That's a pretty strong line up and just need one more piece,on paper better depth and more talent then last season.

[Mr. Dynomite!]

So i'm guessing Bogie signing an offer sheet with Atlanta is all but confirmed at this point.

[Biased_Fan6425]

So no extra max contract next year?

I love KCP but they should have offered him a 1 year balloon contract like before.

No Bogdan then.

I don’t mind it need some roster continuity going into next season.

[Blazer1776]

Seems like alot.....but when you compare it to some other contracts.....meh, seems about right.

Smart move by Lakers. Wes, Lebron, KCP.....thats a tough set of perimeter defenders.

Klutch embezzlement

[NoZoLakers]

kcp key role player gets 13 is steep but bench riding bums like Myers Leonard gets $10M n that doufus Plumlee gets 12m per lol

[anotherhomer]

he was underpaid last year, so kinda makes it up

[Kobeskillz]

Ewwwww haven't they overpaid him enough already

Someone help me understand how he was a huge piece in a championship run and someone says this. Lol. I don’t get it. When a man helps you win a chip he’s worth every penny and more.

[Pinkyring]

They’re the deepest team in the league now.

G - James/Shroeder
G - Caruso/Matthews
F - KCP/THT
F - Davis/Kuzma
C - McGee/HARRELL

That's not depth, they still only have 2 real starters and that 2/3 spot has to be the weakest in the league based on your depth chart

[lvckv]

That's a lot, but whatever, it's not going to be the difference between winning or losing a chip at the end of the day. They have the best pairing in the league and the strongest bench. Easy favourites to repeat.

That's crazy deep. I still think the Harrell deal was shady but otherwise Pelinka really nailed his cap management.

[Barnzy]

Surprised Pelinka paid up so much, he is usually pretty disciplined with not overpaying on contracts

Still the Lakers needed his shooting and defense badly

You need to understand bird rights.

The choice for overpaying KCP (slightly) or no KCP and you get to choose a vet min player to replace him. No brainer to keep him and try repeat

His depth chart is silly. They have the best player in the league who just happens to start at SF.

[Pharmcat]

Lol at giving up 21 cap space for kcp.

Lol at giving up 21 cap space for kcp.

If Giannis is coming (or another max like PG or Kawhi) then KCP isnt really that hard to trade, especially since the 3rd year is only partially guaranteed.

[JB2]

Lol at giving up 21 cap space for kcp.

You think they're going to let Schroder and Harrell walk after this year to have cap space? Nah. Cap space is likely pushing til 2022 (Harden) and by then KCP's deal isn't full guaranteed.

[Dupp]

Great deal, well deserved.
