You can make a case for whoever you'd like, no ones stopping you.
But the person I'm making a case for is a multiple 100x repeat offender. So obviously some people can't change.

How has it ever hampered them? They could have signed a max player last year at the beginning of the deal. Dudes just aren't going to the Lakers right now. It's not like the Lakers have ever been signing tons of top free agents. Fans of other teams say Kobe's deal hurt the Lakers just to have something to talk about. If you can still go after Melo and Bron, money is obviously not the issue.

I'm pretty sure their plan is to retain from within from here on out.. so considering they have the rights of their own guys, why would tying up money be an issue?
also on okc and the salary cap:

And OKC should resign Kanter, don't care what ya think about his defense, Serge should be handling that instead of shooting 3s anyways.

exactly, ONE max player. Kobe being a max player hampers them. He could have signed a much friendlier deal in order for them to go after TWO max deals. He's just not a max player anymore.
The reason why they havent signed top FA in the past is all about cap room. They havent been in this situation for a LONG time. They working on a limited budget previously, cap wise. They dont have 15m+ to shell out when you have Kobe/Shaq or Kobe/Gasol/Bynum on the team.

ibaka is a 38% 3 pt shooter.. the problem was scotty just having him camp out in the corner.. instead of trailing drives for put backs.. or running some sort of motion
literally had ibaka camping out for 3.. or running screen n pop with westbrook

I think this is assuming they sign Cameron and then don't make any other moves.@ZachLowe_NBA: OKC is just about $2.5M under the tax, so a max deal for Kanter would cost them nearly $40M.
I highly doubt they are left paying that huge of an amount.
They will move (try) Novak, Jones or possibly Waiters

It must be nice to be able to tweet something like that and actually have the money to back it up
Mark Cuban probably put down 10 g's for the ice bucket challenge

I wasn't saying he's a bad shooter
... just saying they need him do exactly what you said above and occasionally step out behind the arc. Should you guys resign Kanter or nah?

Oops, good lookin out, my mistake, good on Mark. That charity money can be used to lure Javele to be their center. What do they have to lose now.

here's the thing though, he signed it right after he tore the achilles. So from his perspective, it was more about security. That fear of it all being over and the face 48 mil was the offer these idiots came with, it was brilliant to take it. He's been hurt each year since. Imagine if he countered with a much smaller number and didn't get hurt, and balled out like 2013..he'd be pissed. Would we be in better position? Maybe. Maybe not. Kobe seems more inclined now to share the spotlight with another star, provided you're the right kind of star, but if he was still balling, he'd probs even want Bron and AD to take the backseat.

To someone who has more than $1 billion, $100K is like $100 to average people. Maybe less.
