Seems like the kind of risk worth taking. 25, 3 years left on his deal, is a position of need, and is a high risk high reward type of guy. Seems like the kind of player who would prefer playing in our everyone eats kind of offence.
FVV/GTJ/OG/Pascal/Kristaps is a solid starting 5

and can we stop including 2021 frp in s&t offers, the draft happens before free agency, i guess we can trade for the rookie lakers choose to draft.
Of course S&Ts informally agreed by the teams can fall apart - as we saw with Bogdonovic last fall. But at the deadline the teams were already talking about Lowry's salary next year, so the terms of the sign and trade could already have been agreed to.
And Raps wouldn't do it without a draft pick. If Lakers and Raptors can agree on a pick at #22, then Lakers can make the selection and trade the signing rights as part of the Lowry deal two weeks later.

This is so dumb. You were a #1 pick and teams picking #1 are usually bad teams. The man barely played 2 seasons and there’s already reports of him wanting out. I get being frustrated with a bad front office over time but, this dude has barely played in the league.
Small market teams aren’t just farm teams for the big markets. Player empowerment has gone too far imo.

He's mediocre at best don't worry about that

It is a solid lineup if everything works, but I don't see Masai going for it unless we get picks.

What will be the tax implications if raps do trade for porzingis

He’d be a really good fit with Siakam and it sounds like Dallas could use some leadership in their locker room.

I’d rather Kyle walks than we take on that nasty contract

It's a risk. If he keeps getting hurt then it'd be a disaster. If he stays healthy he'll still be overpaid.
Counter: he's a much better player than he's showed last couple years and it's really hard to obtain rights to good players. Also, we need a big man and there aren't many (any?) good options out there besides the draft, and those guys will take 2-3 years to develop anyways.
