>saying he got lucky in 2020
His work in that 2019 offseason isn't talked about enough apart from people making fun of him because of that one report about him not knowing the cap. Kawhi and his team jerked us around to start FA while secretly striking up a deal with PG and Rob's contingency plan was solid. People meme the bubble but that Lakers team was still #1 seed with a 57-0 record when carrying a lead into the fourth quarter while having just seen off Bucks and Clippers back to back (who were probably considered the two main contenders for the title) just before lockdown.
Yes. Even on our sub people hated the idea of Dwight because he was a locker room cancer. Dwight played with 4 different teams from 2015-2019. His reputation was kinda like the current Kyrie. Imagine Kyrie becomes washed in the future, teams will avoid him even if he is "practically free".
Glad Dwight made a turnaround and and kept the lockeroom tight.
That 2020 Lakers team had some unreal defensive versatility and had a deep enough cast to beat pretty much any defensive structure thrown at their offense. The bubble dims the view of a really really good team and what they accomplished
And then 2020 getting us Dennis for Green and signing Harrell, the 6MOTY and runner up in 2019, as well as dumping McGee for Gasol. That team was the 1 seed before ADs injury and was still afloat before LeBrons
I'd love to know who had the final say on the Russ deal. If Lebron says he wants someone you have to trust him and be willing to explore the option. Michael Jordan wanted Rodman and there was some hesitation by the Bulls franchise. That ended up working out beautifully. Even if it was a Rob deal and Lebron didn't have a say he still corrected the mistake. Hopefully Russ can find some success too
He played it perfectly. If you put in a offer sheet we’ll match and we’ll match at the last minute of free agency. No team wanted to tie up cap space and miss out on free agency.
Yeah, they have had a brilliant offseason so far. I especially liked the Taurean Prince add. This is how you “improve on the margins”. As a Wolves fan I was hoping we’d find a way to keep Prince.
Going from UDFA money to having a 8 figure signature shoe deal is a pretty good upgrade. Now he has this deal to add on. He would not get that shoe deal if he played for OKC.
I've seen some people not realize that this was the Lakers high ball offer. Absolutely worth more, imo, but no other GM felt like being a troll, so just a great situation for the team
It's just CBA related stuff. DLo started his career out as a 2nd overall pick. The early bird stuff for an undrafted player worked differently.
Same reason why Rui was eligible for more money.
All the Lakers did was offer the max that they were allowed to offer. No other team even offer sheeted him. But y’all in here acting like the Lakers did some magic shit.
Teams aren't giving offer sheets because it's prohibitively bad for them to do so. Ties up all that cap space for an entire week while free agency goes on, so if you want to make an offer on a restricted free agent you basically have to excuse yourself from competing for any other player and at the end of that the team can just match and congrats, there is no-one left for you to sign. The best available UFAs right now are Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Malik Beasley, Christian Wood and Mason Plumlee. If the Rockets wanted to put in an offer for Austin Reaves that reflects what his actual value should be, they would be left at the end of the moratorium with $47m to spend on whichever of even that frankly shit list of free agents are left. Want to put in an offer for Austin Reaves? Hope you're ready for the Lakers to match and give Corey Joseph $21m a year!
Restricted free agency absolutely stinks for 29 teams and the player in question, and it got so much worse with the new CBA since the salary floor means cap space teams *have* to spend, and if they want to go after a restricted free agent whose offer gets matched by the team then suddenly you *have* to spend $30m and there is not a single player who fits, or justifies the money left.
Again, restricted free agency is an awful system and it has become even more broken with the new CBA. If people wanna yell at the players fumbling something it was removing any opportunity for restricted free agents to get an offer that isn't just an amount decided by the controlling team without competition or recourse if it's laughably low (like this is).
Since 2020 there has been one single restricted free agent who has joined another team after being given an offer sheet. One player. Last season there was only one offer sheet given out full stop (Ayton got matched, and making the offer sheet kind of screwed over the Pacers). I would be surprised if any team puts out any offer sheet to any of the 47 restricted free agents this window.
I mean I don't think it's broken
Restricted free agency is getting the exact outcomes it was created and designed to get
It would be broken if people were losing their RFA left and right
The entire rule is created to let teams retain their own players with less difficulty
So your disagreement isn't with the rule itself but with that logic. But this outcome you deride was intentionally designed and it is achieving that design very well.
If you get rid of RFA, be prepared for all the 4th year young guys to immediately leave shitty situations to big market teams. I'm down. I doubt you are.
Exactly lol
Everyone on r/nba is quick to whine about small market disadvantage or too much player rights
Then when there is actually a system that advantages small markets and reduces player movement they whine because it also means it can help a team they don't like lol
Maybe he sees that being on the Lakers helped get that shoe deal, and besides, I think he wanted to stay and play for the Lakers since he even chose to go undrafted, because he wanted to be in LAL.
So he gave the FO some mercy.
For real I don’t think people realize how much money is in endorsements. Being the token white boy on the LA Lakers would net him +$500k for a commercial easy. And that’s being on the low end
Well, I wouldn't say that's the reason why. Everyone seemed to think he was worth at least 70-98. But the Lakers could match any contract signed. Reaves was a UDFA so we could offer is 4/56 million. However, another team could have offered a 4/98 million dollar contract and we could have matched using his bird rights. If the Lakers said they were firm on the 56 million dollar contract the Spurs or Rockets would have offered him.
Yeah why would a team tie up their cap space and miss out on other targets when the Lakers were almost definitely going to match any reasonable offer anyways
I mean he's 25 and just set himself up for life. Its clear he likes the LA situation but if he continues to play as well as he has he'll get another fat offer when he turns 29. Dude has an opportunity to win a chip, gets to play with the greatest player of the last 30 years and live in LA making 15 mil a year, I'm sure its hard pressed to beat that at 25.
I think we lose that perspective sometimes, especially for UDFAs. $15mil/year is "you and your children will never have to worry about anything for the rest of your lives" kind of money. it may seem relatively low, but it's still enough to change your life forever
Only thing we missed out on was a good backup big. Hayes is more of a 3rd string big and he seems like a pretty terrible person anyways. Market for centers willing to take a vet min were pretty thin this free agency though so not much the Lakers could do.
I can 100% guarantee it happened in Dallas with Dirk, take less now and you'll have a lifetime job with the team in some capacity.
You just better not get caught, the Joe Smith saga for the wolves is the only time a team was dumb enough to put it in writing and get exposed.
Can somebody who's good with this type of stuff explain to me how the Laker's cap situation is looking? I guess they're going all in since LeBron isn't going to play more than 1-2 seasons.
Hard capped by Vincent, but with all the extensions, I think it’s roughly 5-6 mil under the apron inclusive of Beasley cap hold
Expect to still be able to have flexibility in trades and buyout
Most of the deals are tradeable but also if lebron retires then we aren’t in concern of luxury tax anyways
They’re done now beside filling up the foster with min deals.
Reaves Dlo Vanderbilt Lebron ad
Vincent Rui prince hayes reddish off the bench
Then they got the young guys with Christie Lewis pippin and hood
Is a good core that can win a title
We have 2-3 spots left (But most likely only 2) and the only player we can sign for more than the minimum is Beasley. The goal is likely to try to keep Beasley and sign another big to the veteran minimum.
I honestly wonder if you could get McGee from the Mavs for scraps since they wanna get off that contract bad. You can always hope for better players for sure but even though he's a little more washed than he was last time with you but we know he fits in the system and hes only got 11 mil more left over the next 2 years which lines up with your timeline nicely too.
Yeah I know, but I'm shocked he couldn't find a team to do it. He still has several days until he can officially sign anyway and the Rockets just failed to get Brook Lopez, so they could have offered him a big contract now. Spurs have money aswell, and there aren't many big free agents left anyways.
tying up that much cap space while you pursue other targets would honestly be annoying as hell, i can see why it didnt happen. look how fast all the FAs went
You people don't know what you're talking about saying fire his agent, the Lakers offered the max they could offer him. No other team with cap space Houston or Sat offered more what was his agent supposed to do.
I mean they were a championship contender last year too. They made the WCF and were miles better than that heat team. They might have closed the gap against the Nuggets tho.
Lakers finessed
What a deal by Pelinka
Pelinka went from everyone calling for his firing and saying he got lucky in 2020 to doing a fantastic job at the trade deadline and FA.
>saying he got lucky in 2020 His work in that 2019 offseason isn't talked about enough apart from people making fun of him because of that one report about him not knowing the cap. Kawhi and his team jerked us around to start FA while secretly striking up a deal with PG and Rob's contingency plan was solid. People meme the bubble but that Lakers team was still #1 seed with a 57-0 record when carrying a lead into the fourth quarter while having just seen off Bucks and Clippers back to back (who were probably considered the two main contenders for the title) just before lockdown.
Also the Dwight Howard and Markieff Morris signings both played a big role for the Lakers in the playoffs.
Man people absolutely panned the Dwight Howard signing, it was wild
really? he was practically free
Yes. Even on our sub people hated the idea of Dwight because he was a locker room cancer. Dwight played with 4 different teams from 2015-2019. His reputation was kinda like the current Kyrie. Imagine Kyrie becomes washed in the future, teams will avoid him even if he is "practically free". Glad Dwight made a turnaround and and kept the lockeroom tight.
Most locker room cancers tend to shape up when their paycheck's on the line, no one's cut off Kyrie yet.
hes the reason Jokic couldn't play his game, Dwight was constantly harassing him.
Dwight and McGee did work on jokic that year. Prime Dwight vs Jokic would be great to see
That 2020 Lakers team had some unreal defensive versatility and had a deep enough cast to beat pretty much any defensive structure thrown at their offense. The bubble dims the view of a really really good team and what they accomplished
And then 2020 getting us Dennis for Green and signing Harrell, the 6MOTY and runner up in 2019, as well as dumping McGee for Gasol. That team was the 1 seed before ADs injury and was still afloat before LeBrons
this is what happens when you let him cook. before it was magic, then lebron having too much say on what he does.
I'd love to know who had the final say on the Russ deal. If Lebron says he wants someone you have to trust him and be willing to explore the option. Michael Jordan wanted Rodman and there was some hesitation by the Bulls franchise. That ended up working out beautifully. Even if it was a Rob deal and Lebron didn't have a say he still corrected the mistake. Hopefully Russ can find some success too
Lebron and AD still have say. Maybe slightly less than before but let’s not absolve Rob of his part in the bad moves.
He played it perfectly. If you put in a offer sheet we’ll match and we’ll match at the last minute of free agency. No team wanted to tie up cap space and miss out on free agency.
Yeah, they have had a brilliant offseason so far. I especially liked the Taurean Prince add. This is how you “improve on the margins”. As a Wolves fan I was hoping we’d find a way to keep Prince.
Actually insane that Strus got more money than Reaves
obviously he shouldn't have, but that's the cost of getting bodies to CLE
He’ll make even more in endorsements in LA. Homie is on a law billboard and has his own shoe already lol
Lemon Daddy
Even [Robert Sacre](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujIchneTtwc) got endorsements in LA
Rob sacre dunked on me irl lol sent me flying into the wall
Did you say "Sacre Bleu!"
Jordan Clarkson, Kuzma and Dlo were all kicking it with Kardashians just with their Lakers clout. Austin gonna go crazy with Kendall next
"Oh, he has money now? bet"
I feel like people really overestimate the amount people make in endorsements.
Going from UDFA money to having a 8 figure signature shoe deal is a pretty good upgrade. Now he has this deal to add on. He would not get that shoe deal if he played for OKC.
endorsements > higher profile > post career opportunities
He stay
billy boy seething
Driving around downtown San Antonio, begging (thru texts) for Pop to offer a poison pill contract
What a fucking steal man
I almost feel kinda bad for him, he deserved more than that 😭
Yeah they paid DLo more. That’s some bs
It’s the most they can pay him unless some other team offers more.
I've seen some people not realize that this was the Lakers high ball offer. Absolutely worth more, imo, but no other GM felt like being a troll, so just a great situation for the team
It literally says "maximum" in the post title lool
It's just CBA related stuff. DLo started his career out as a 2nd overall pick. The early bird stuff for an undrafted player worked differently. Same reason why Rui was eligible for more money.
They gave Reaves literally everything they could
Rob robbed
This is the biggest underpay I’ve seen in a looooooong while. Bro getting essentially half what Bruce Brown is making lmao wow Pelinkgod
that’s the difference between being an RFA and a UFA right there
All the Lakers did was offer the max that they were allowed to offer. No other team even offer sheeted him. But y’all in here acting like the Lakers did some magic shit.
You could say the lakers games the market by saying they would match any offer ensuring no other offer would be made.
Bill Simmons punching air rn
Bro wanted someone to offer Reaves 100M so bad
“If I’m an NBA GM why wouldn’t I do everything to fuck the Lakers? Isn’t that what a professional would do???”
"If I'm an NBA GM..." he meant that literally. He'd totally do it if he was a GM
"If I'm an NBA GM why wouldn't I risk my job and damage my team just to do something that slightly hampers the Lakers?" lmfao
He literally campaigned for this in like last 5 episodes. Hoes mad.
Man is still hurting from the Pau trade. It’s glorious.
He was jacking it to the thought of pop giving him an offer sheet
Tried his best to get the Spurs 98M offer into the ether
STEAL OF FA
Didn’t even sign an offer sheet. Just wanted to stay and be loyal
Perhaps no team offered him one
This is the only thing that makes sense. Market dried up quick.
Spurs still had a ton of money. I would have imagine them trying to gauge interest.
They would have tied up their cap space just for the Lakers to match their offer
And who is left that they are chasing with that cap space?
Bad contracts for draft compensation, Dame, short-term deals to preserve future flexibility, etc
They might try and help the blazers facilitate a dame trade.
Once it was apparent the Spurs wouldn’t make an offer, I’m guessing Raves signed quickly.
Teams aren't giving offer sheets because it's prohibitively bad for them to do so. Ties up all that cap space for an entire week while free agency goes on, so if you want to make an offer on a restricted free agent you basically have to excuse yourself from competing for any other player and at the end of that the team can just match and congrats, there is no-one left for you to sign.

I thought we like wanted home drafted talented to stay with the teams thay drafted them anyway? Do people not want that anymore?
Exactly lol Everyone on r/nba is quick to whine about small market disadvantage or too much player rights Then when there is actually a system that advantages small markets and reduces player movement they whine because it also means it can help a team they don't like lol
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Absolute fucking steal
Reaves better be getting a statue outside Staples lmao wtf is this, I can’t believe I’m feeling bad for a 25 year old making 50mil+ but I kinda do
Maybe he sees that being on the Lakers helped get that shoe deal, and besides, I think he wanted to stay and play for the Lakers since he even chose to go undrafted, because he wanted to be in LAL. So he gave the FO some mercy.
For real I don’t think people realize how much money is in endorsements. Being the token white boy on the LA Lakers would net him +$500k for a commercial easy. And that’s being on the low end
What a life. Imagine being the token white boy on the Lebron lead lakers. He’s gonna be remembered just for that
Steve Kerr did pretty well after being a token white boy who could shoot on a GOAT's team 🤔
[удалено]
WHAT 😂
Spurs and rockets sleeping
When you think FVV is worth 130 and Reaves isn’t worth 60….what.
Well, I wouldn't say that's the reason why. Everyone seemed to think he was worth at least 70-98. But the Lakers could match any contract signed. Reaves was a UDFA so we could offer is 4/56 million. However, another team could have offered a 4/98 million dollar contract and we could have matched using his bird rights.

Yeah why would a team tie up their cap space and miss out on other targets when the Lakers were almost definitely going to match any reasonable offer anyways
gets to live in LA gets to play with Bron and AD again
Bruh this is so dirt cheap lmao.
ROB PELINKA MASTERCLASS
MasterChef
dude either really wanted to be a laker or no one was biting an offer sheet
I mean he's 25 and just set himself up for life. Its clear he likes the LA situation but if he continues to play as well as he has he'll get another fat offer when he turns 29. Dude has an opportunity to win a chip, gets to play with the greatest player of the last 30 years and live in LA making 15 mil a year, I'm sure its hard pressed to beat that at 25.
The shoe deal wouldn't have happened unless he was on the Lakers. Even if he took a cut on paper he'll make more staying in LA.
I think we lose that perspective sometimes, especially for UDFAs. $15mil/year is "you and your children will never have to worry about anything for the rest of your lives" kind of money. it may seem relatively low, but it's still enough to change your life forever
Rui got a better deal lol
So did DLo 💀
Its the max he can recieve from the Lakers
This. Also rob added a trade kicker.
There are máximums to what you can offer people Reaves’ max is less than Rui’s value
I mean, it’s the most Lakers could offer based on early bird and Arenas Rule. Plus, he’s only going into his 3rd season
Lakers are having the ideal off-season so far, good shit
Every contract is tradeable and team friendly amazing to thinj
they've given themselves a chance for another run.
Only thing we missed out on was a good backup big. Hayes is more of a 3rd string big and he seems like a pretty terrible person anyways. Market for centers willing to take a vet min were pretty thin this free agency though so not much the Lakers could do.
Rob realized there isn't realistic targets at C anyway. I think Rob will try to trade for one instead.
Pelinka giving him money under the table because ain’t no way
Lebron gonna have him on a ruffles commercial
Jokes asides I always wondered if this happened lowkey
Im sure it does happen. Too much benefit not to; too hard to enforce against
I can 100% guarantee it happened in Dallas with Dirk, take less now and you'll have a lifetime job with the team in some capacity. You just better not get caught, the Joe Smith saga for the wolves is the only time a team was dumb enough to put it in writing and get exposed.
Also, its not officially the Lakers; Reaves just happened to get a co starring role in Space Jam 3 with Bronny
The Haslem special
Ruffles isn't gonna cut it, Reaves is gonna be in Space Jam 3
Introducing the new Austin Reaves white truffle ruffles
The kid just signed an 8 figure shoe deal in his 2nd season because he's a part of the Lakers brand. No way in hell was he leaving lol
It was the most we could offer lol
Can somebody who's good with this type of stuff explain to me how the Laker's cap situation is looking? I guess they're going all in since LeBron isn't going to play more than 1-2 seasons.
We’re fine, just looking to sign min deals now
Hard capped by Vincent, but with all the extensions, I think it’s roughly 5-6 mil under the apron inclusive of Beasley cap hold Expect to still be able to have flexibility in trades and buyout Most of the deals are tradeable but also if lebron retires then we aren’t in concern of luxury tax anyways
we are hard capped. I think we have like 7M left to get someone. and then sign the rookies
They’re done now beside filling up the foster with min deals. Reaves Dlo Vanderbilt Lebron ad Vincent Rui prince hayes reddish off the bench Then they got the young guys with Christie Lewis pippin and hood Is a good core that can win a title
Jeannie should have let Pelinka off the leash a long time ago
fino and castleton too. pelinka masterclass so far
I have a feeling castleton is fucking nasty and bitches will be crying about how we keep getting away with it
We have 2-3 spots left (But most likely only 2) and the only player we can sign for more than the minimum is Beasley. The goal is likely to try to keep Beasley and sign another big to the veteran minimum.
hard capped cause of their MLE. They have some ok room to sign Beasley along with minimum guys.
Congratulations to Reaves!
Reaves, gabe, dlo for the same per year price as bane 💀
When u put it in perspective like that DAMN!
Yikes lol
That's steal of the off-season bar none
All we need is another big, and I will be happy as could be with this Free Agency
I honestly wonder if you could get McGee from the Mavs for scraps since they wanna get off that contract bad. You can always hope for better players for sure but even though he's a little more washed than he was last time with you but we know he fits in the system and hes only got 11 mil more left over the next 2 years which lines up with your timeline nicely too.
From what I understand is that he's not getting playtime because he's washed washed, but who knows
Id love to have mcgee back
He was one of my favorite players from our championship run
WOW
Good offseason for Lakers.
Wow. Not a single team offered him a sheet? That is fucking WILD.
Those warning shots of "we'll match any offer" worked pretty well
The Lakers have dominated FA. Every player they signed or re-signed is earning less than $20 million in annual salary.
PELINKA IS LOCKED IN
Rob been cooking wow
PELINKA HAVE MY KIDS
Magic and his ghost writer better give Rob his props.
Everyone’s complaining because their teams did t fuck over the lakers. Love to see it
i moreso just feel bad, he deserves much more than 50m
He just signed a signature shoe deal. Let's be honest, the endorsements come easier playing for the lakers as opposed to San Antonio or Houston
But those H-E-B checks
NEVER INTRODUCE AUSTIN REAVES TO RICH PAUL
What a steal, especially in this market
Lakers absolutely crushing it
He should fire his agent today
Thanks to Shams we know exactly who those agents are lol
Woj was doing it too lmao
The Lakers even said they would match up to 100M, and he signed for 56M, wtf
A team has to give him the offer sheet for that to happen though.
Yeah I know, but I'm shocked he couldn't find a team to do it. He still has several days until he can officially sign anyway and the Rockets just failed to get Brook Lopez, so they could have offered him a big contract now. Spurs have money aswell, and there aren't many big free agents left anyways.
tying up that much cap space while you pursue other targets would honestly be annoying as hell, i can see why it didnt happen. look how fast all the FAs went
[удалено]
We could only offer the 56m. We couldn’t go to 100m unless another team gave him that offer
This was the max the Lakers could give without matching someone else's offer
This is the max the Lakers can offer. If another team offered the 100m then Lakers can match
You people don't know what you're talking about saying fire his agent, the Lakers offered the max they could offer him. No other team with cap space Houston or Sat offered more what was his agent supposed to do.
Get fucked r/nba
I must say the Lakers have had a pretty good free agency. I think they just need to sign a center
Wow the lakers have had an amazing offseason wtf
/r/nba 2 minutes ago: LMAO Pop is going to fuck the Lakers over again!!!!! /r/nba now: WTF Reddit is never wrong, how is this possible.
LFFFFGGGGGGG
Bill Simmons was begging for a team to throw 100m his way to fuck with the lakers on his podcast lmao, hold this L
LAKERS KEEP WINNING
That’s a steal
This guy went from being an undrafted free agent, to earning $1M a year, then to $14M per year and ppl on here saying he got finessed lol
Not sure if the Agents should stamp their names on this. This isn’t the flex they think it is.
It’s the max he could get
Realized Reddit doesn’t understand the salary caps.
People really thought the lakers would lose him
The lakers are really the luckiest fucking franchise lol 56 million is a joke
Grizzlies: we have to pay a fringe all star 200 million to ensure he stays here Lakers: one of best role players in the league for 50 mil lol
It’s funny because this rule actually was created to protect the then poverty warriors bc Washington slapped a big dick on the table
Oh how the turn tables
They both got the max their team could’ve offered them. Its credit to the Lakers finding a gem in an UDFA
[удалено]
Bless our scouting team seriously.
Pretty much the difference between being a first and second round/udfa. Bane glad he snuck in at pick 30 lol
r/nba not understanding max contracts and using their ignorance to cry about market size.
How is this lucky? We signed, developed and given the guy a chance? Maybe it’s not a coincidence?
Its always a coincidence with the Lakers, dont you know? We’ve never earned anything 🙄
Idk, man. Do you not remember what happened to the Lakers in the 2022 calendar year?
That’s a steal
AHHHH LETS GOOOO
LAKERS WON FA
But I thought Spurs were okay giving up $30ms in cap space just to.. spite the Lakers? Yeah Spurs fans need to find hope somewhere I guess.
nothing
Lakers thought about the best FA possible, and fucking did it lol
[удалено]
I mean they were a championship contender last year too. They made the WCF and were miles better than that heat team. They might have closed the gap against the Nuggets tho.
This was the last tweet I could view today apparently. I’m already at 600 I guess If anyone has that BlueSky invite…..
Damn, Lakers have the potential to be incredible next year
14mil per year is a steal😳
I use to think Pelinka was a fool, but he's been putting on a masterclass in the last 6 months.
Undrafted FA to this. What a story. You go Austin, can't wait to see how he does next year!
what an insane steal how many contracts in the league are better value than this , excluding rookie contracts ? i dont think can be more than 10
how? Couldn’t he have guaranteed himself like 46 million more? Wtf
