Thnx bro those Kobe fadeaways never get old, and herky jerky looking slick too he got Kobe with the crossover :lol

Don't think we have enough knockdown shooting tho :{ , nobody replaced Meeks man.
 
ESPN NBA Player Rankings so far

149 - Julius Randle
150 - Nick Young
165 - Jordan Hill
185 - Ed Davis
246 - Steve Nash
262 - Xavier Henry
281 - Ryan Kelly
318 - Wes Johnson
382 - Robert Sacre
448 - Jordan Clarkson

Lin, Kobe, Boozer top 140.
 
Ryan Kelly injured today with a moderate hamstring injury, btw.

He's as probably the closest thing to a knockdown shooter on the roster, other than Nash and Ellington
 
A look at the future in terms of salary numbers.

Assuming we lose out on our pick. We get the 23rd from Houston, our 40th.
Decline option on Jordan Hill.
Kobe, Swaggy P, Randle, Kelly, Sacre, Clarkson, the 2 picks, 2 cap holds.
Would leave us with $26.964mil in cap space. In a best case scenario, we sign Marc Gasol to a max deal, and have $7.014mil for a point guard.


If you move further to 2016.
Gasol, PG, Swaggy P, Randle, Kelly (QO), Clarkson, 2 picks from 2015, 2016 First (I would assume mid-to late teens) & Second.
We'd have $29.9mil and 2 people to sign.
That's if they try to gradually raise the salary cap, if it goes up the full $16mil, instead of the suggested $8mil each for 2 seasons, we'll have $37.9mil


Also for 2016 to be meaningful to a Kevin Durant, Joakim Noah or CP3 or *Gasp* Dwight Howard, we have to make a big signing in 2015, and by big it has to be a Superstar (Rondo or Gasol). If not, then we can only afford to make a marginal signing at PG (Dragic) OR C (Jordan) and have to punt the rest of the cap space in 1 year deals to try and get close to enough space for 2 max players in 2016.

On the subject of knockdown shooter. Mike penbertthy from the masters college is the shooting coach for the wolves. Did he win a ring in his time with the lake show?
 
I don't think Marc Gasol will leave for LAL unless we have another all star caliber player. ( or Championship roster) Especially after Pau left and how they kept Pau in flux with always being in trade scenarios.
