Thompson turned down 12mm per

That was 13 mil per.. 52 mil over 4... Can't believe he thought he was a max player at that time or even now..JVG said he would start Thompson over Love next year..

I have a feeling Love has already been fitted for his Lakers jersey.

I don't see going back to a rebuilding situation with huge expectations like LA..Kobe is done..So Love and the draft pick..Or he is itching to saddle up with Rondo?..Love and Rondo won't make the playoffs in the West..

Clev got rid of LOve and got better--thats all you need to know about his value.

They are not better..With Love they had a chance against GS..Without him, they may be swept..

Agree with this part.

But bottom line is that Love is a California guy. He wants to win, but he wants to be happy and the centerpiece of the team, too.

I think he'll go to LA and they'll build around him. They have the #2 pick in the draft and just as much cap room as the Knicks. When Kobe comes off the cap next year, they'll have another $40M in cap room when the cap goes up.

Love, Mudiay, Randle, Clarkson, maybe Hill, $40M in cap space? The Lakers will be fine.

Fingers crossed- increases our chances of getting OK4 or trading Melo to them.

I'm starting to think OK4 may slip to 3...

though I don't think there's a snow ball's chance in hell Dolan trades Melo this off-season. And, yes, I believe it'd be Dolan's decision. Maybe if the rebuild goes terribly, Melo asks for a trade and the Knicks try to accomodate him next summer. But absolutely not this summer. Melo's bought in for at least another season and Dolan will be loathe to lose him, since he views Melo as his crowning achievement as Knicks owner (and I'm not kidding about that).

It Love signs for 20 mil then only 10 mil left in cap space without signing the pick yet..Maybe after Kobe rolls off..Love isn't a centerpiece type player tho..I do hope he goes there and they pick a guard..

I think the Lakers would snap up Towns to pair with Love in a heartbeat... and then maybe try to move Randle.

But if the Wolves take Towns... do the Lakers take OK4 to play with Love?

And Kobe has supposedly told Kupchak this is his last season.

So only 10 mil left to sign Rondo this year..How long does Love want to wait to build a team?

Thats why you offer melo for their number 2 pick and either Randle (flip for another pick) or their other first round pick this year. Take back Kobe, they can sign Rondo, and everyone's a winner

That's why you sit back and wait until the real bargain begins. Let the dumb organizations max out these guys, then pick up whats left over. I don't think any FA is worth a max.....But most of them will get it.
