So I actually read the article. Sure, if the 55 things that they said needed to happen actually happened then yes! It would have workedRead man
In that completely unrealistic scenario, after a Hield trade, and waiving/renoucing everybody, they would've had a little over 20mil to give DDR.
And then still another 7.4 mil for Caruso. Or THT I suppose.
But let’s think realistically
We coulda had Hield Caruso tht kcp 22nd pick AND shroeder if we wanted. That was a for sure thing - not a wild fantasy where 19 things had to line up.
If derozen came out and told LA he would take 15 mill and thus comfortably allowing us to give 10 mill to tht or Caruso then sure but he clearly went for the highest number possible. The clippers were also ready to offer up a similar deal to him 15-20 and he ran to the money. Think of the years too. Maybe lakers wanted to give him 2 years instead of the many more he got in Chicago.
With all that said if we traded for Hield. Who knows the dominos that may have transpired. Maybe Schroeder signs a 1/10 mill deal. Caruso tht come back. Kcp and pick get traded for another wing or point guard etc. this is all on lebron. He got convinced by Russ Westbrook and hypnotized him lol
Whatever. Who cares. We ******* suck.
