Obviously the smartest move the Lakers could've done was Amnesitied Kobe, but that just was never an option.
Still can't believe they gave him a 2 year 48.5 M contract
So outrageous.

You amnesty him this year, save 30 million against the cap, and then what?

But what specifically do you suggest they should've done with the 30 million in cap space? Who were they going to sign?

At the end of the day the contract they gave Kobe was probably the dumbest decision they could make.
They should've just cut it in half
2 year 24 M is more than enough for a hobbling Mamba who sees the light at the end of the tunnel.

One max contract does not hurt the Lakers going forward. Same way it didn't hurt them before. They got still room for another max and role players as always. You guys wanting Kobe to take way less than the max are crazy. It's on the Lakers that they couldn't land Dwight and on Stern they couldn't get CP3. The Lakers hired Pringles not Kobe.

lets say the lakers didn't offer kobe a contract........they sign melo + others to fill the cap space...at that point they can go over the cap to sign their own player right?

say you do get another max, plus nash's 8 mil, plus the rookie they are going to sign...that alone already covers 90% of the cap

Nope. To get the cap space, they need to renounce the FA's for which they have the Bird Rights (the ability to go over the cap to re-sign) - this removes the cap hold and frees up the space.

That is exactly my point. I'm trying to understand how amnestying him was "obviously the smartest move the Lakers could've done".
You amnesty him, free up 30 mil this year in cap, and then what? No matter who you signed, you were still going to be lottery bound. So what exactly makes that the smartest move?

Keep in mind you also said Dwight to Houston is "not happening" when I predicted it mid-season last year.
I thought you woulda learned your lesson.
Never say Never bro.
