Hey All,
This is a companion pod for my most recent article making an argument why CP3 makes sense for the Lakers. If you disagree - give it a listen and let me know if I don't sway you some. If you do agree, listen too!
Latest @hollywood_hoops Ep 208 w/@JoshMartinNBA Making the Case for Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Lakers @lineups https://www.spreaker.com/user/11494655/hollywood-hoops-why-chris-paul-to-lakers-works
Cheers,

Listened to whole thing. Great analysis.
If we do get CP3 how will his salary affect our ability to retain KCP, rondo, Dwight, Morris? There doesn’t seem to be enough money to give them raises to keep them? I know we have bird rights on kcp and early bird rights on rondo but hard cap of 139 million looms.
If we get Chris Paul will we even have ability to retain others or have to resort to vet minimum only to round out out roster? |

I was wondering the same thing. The podcast mentioned that keeping KCP and Danny Green would make us hit the hard cap. But didn't address it with CP3. Not sure how you can round out the roster with minimums for players 5-9 and have a great team. Yes, there will be ring chasers, but there is no contingency plan, no back up. Doesn't seem smart |

The Lakers - if they had a trade as described - would still have the means to retain all their free agents _________________ Salary Cap Strategist and Columnist at Bleacher Report and on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/EricPincus |
