Guys, this is the type of stuff i wish you would do more of on the front office show 30:57 I love learning about the cap, and these scenarios help me understand it better.

[@majormarketing6552]

Sixers lusting for Jimmy is never going to get him back.

[@jenedyermeneses1157]

If Ty Lue is a top 3 coach why hanst he been to the finlas after Lebrom helped him win his only ring?

[@keepit9762]

Exactly bro everybody’s on this guy’s nuts and he hasn’t done absolutely anything without LeBron James 😂…. he has the exact same accolades as Frank Vogel.???? what am I missing here?

[@CoachDarren]

​@@keepit9762I totally agree and I have been saying it for years Lue is a overrated coach. I don't understand the hype

[@smokeysettings1952]

Keith I’m always in basketball shorts and white socks too don’t forget the sliders see how great minds think alike…

[@josephclark8386]

You and Keith are hilarious, I bleed purple and gold yes, you guys are great but it's funny such a love-hate relationship with the Lakers for Trevor and the Celtics for Keith lol

[@sy12]

Huh? 1/7 of salary cap for your 7th best player? Your top 2 players are going to take 65-70% of your cap. You can’t pay a backup pg 20m/yr.

[@JerryMcKinnie]

I think the Pistons have one or two moves left...a center an shooter

[@coffeyplays7647]

So why would thunder have to trade to get PG? Just not enough money or what?

[@patrickfernandez6420]

We could’ve kept Thomas briant much needed

[@Gatorsssssss1]

Just saying though imagine the sons all they need is a point guard imagine LeBron going there and having BEAL booker KD maybe they could get CP three to go for a minimum or something LeBron really wants to push his history he could go for a lot more championships instead of settling for four

[@amc1140]

If LeBron really wants 5-6 rings, he should join the Celtics. The problem is that people will kill him for ring chasing (like KD), especially if he doesn't win FMVP

[@keepit9762]

Remind me again, what Ty Lue has done without LeBron James?…… all I keep hearing is what a great coach is top three in the league yet has not reached the finals since he had LeBron James on his roster. 🤷🏽‍♂️ who cares at the clippers extended? I don’t see him as the coach everyone else does.

[@khiemdee4573]

Hello Trevor

[@emoburger42069]

Hello

[@RayBlack-rw4ih]

If both teams wanted the AD-Lebron trade, couldn't the Lakers resign Lebron for the exact same amount as KD is making?

[@darklychaoticmatthewstaffo2851]

Suns can't recieve a player in sign-&-trade due to their cap situation

[@JeremyZ22]

No idea why phoenix would do that. It doesn't make them better. Phoenix is gonna be like Beal for James. Beal could wave his no trade. Then we could start Beal, d lo, and Reeves together lol Oh wait ham is gone. No more tiny 3 guard lineups I hope !!!

[@buddylee7458]

Yeah and 5 games in, Beal injuries himself 🙄🙄

[@UniversalMind-10]

Don't want Beal

[@ssholla92]

Don't worry, the Suns can't trade KD or Beal for LeBron. LeBron makes more money than either of them, so it's not possible with the Suns over the 2nd apron.

[@JeremyZ22]

@@ssholla92 I know it was just a fun joke about starting 3 guards and having the worst defense ever :-)

Lebron is not worth a super max anymore cuz no one in there right mind think Lebron is a superstar anymore.

Get that hate off your chest. How a top 10 player is not a superstar anymore 😂😂😂. You smoking all types of crack 😂😂

[@visibleangle7147]

He is a superstar dude uncrazy? His stats tells it all . Look at the others. But if you say he is old i would say yes. Crazy isn’t it???

[@amc1140]

Ty Lue might be the most overrated coach in the NBA. Ask Clipper fans

[@sonny140]

Cavs fans would disagree I think.

[@Football-ny2iy]

Not his fault his players are always injured or load managing.

Scott “the extender” Foster strikes again

[@MonkeGamingTips]

I hate that ref

[@ericmcgilp9704]

Hopefully the Suns draft Bronny and LBJ goes with him. If Lebron and DLo both go, we have $30 million in cap space. Then we can pick up a top younger player and if not this year, a little more roster manipulation gets you a max slot when the right player comes along. Beats being in the lottery for 4 or 5 years watching LBJ grow old.

[@darklychaoticmatthewstaffo2851]

I get your motivation, but what good young player do you think we could get? FA or trade?.... Losing Dlo and Bron, he better be able to distribute and pressure the rim IMHO.

[@ericmcgilp9704]

@@darklychaoticmatthewstaffo2851 I'm not a scout to be able to name a specific player, but $30 million will get you a top free agent. With a trade or expiring contract you can open up a max slot in a year. Waiting for the next franchise player to become a available. Reaves, Christie Vando, Rui, AD, new center, JHS, Castleton, Lewis, Woods, Vincent isn't going to win a title, but would be a fun young team to watch and see if any of the youngsters have game while the roster is positioned for the next free agent superstar.

[@darklychaoticmatthewstaffo2851]

@ericmcgilp9704 There isn't anyone this year, but I can understand the pov of trying to get the next disgruntled star. But To me, with a lack of any real Juggernaut team out there..... we have a Top 3 Duo right now. Any decent chance at a title is worth the bad years to me. ......Maybe part of it is it feels like Bron and AD should have at least 2 together. That might be my heart and not my head speaking.

[@ericmcgilp9704]

@@darklychaoticmatthewstaffo2851 I understand that thinking if you feel we have a "top 3 duo" and I would agree if I thought the same. I don't. LBJ has regressed and will be worse every year. I'd be willing to bet a large sum that LBJ never gets to another final much less win a title.

[@darklychaoticmatthewstaffo2851]

@ericmcgilp9704 haha. Well sure. Considering he has 1 to 2 years of high level play left.... id bet against any player not making a finals for 2 years. Easy💰 It's all about a Chip tho. With the right moves, we have as good a chance as anyone. If we got the OKC path instead of DEN, this year, who knows what happens. Bron certainly isn't a top 10 guy all season but he still performs greatly in the playoffs. A little better support. (Or coaching) who knows. That Duo was 🔥 for 5 games. Defense and Size!!! POA and a Big!

[@whodidit99]

Shouldn't there be a =/- leeway of 5% for trades above the first cap. It's so stupid. Why did the players agree to the new CBA? It completely restricts player movement.

[@amc1140]

Because it was a loophole. Teams over the cap used that as a way to keep adding salary

[@LN-Lifer]

Keith's kids sound like mine Not wanting this school. That's crazy when I was a kid if my dad asked me if I wanted to miss school Heck yeah!

[@gooseallie4417]

Idk what the clippers are doing, lue isn’t a horrible coach but the guys rotations are horrible and his adjustments are just as bad. Starting tucker in pivotal playoff games? Really? The guy never plays the young guys and the older players fall apart every year. Was really hoping they would go in another direction. Especially if PG Harden walk. Which I’m hoping they do. This if they are healthy idea is dead. Time to start over

[@amc1140]

Can't lose a coach who loses in the first round every year😂

[@gooseallie4417]

He’s the new doc rivers. Hasn’t proven anything yet people act like he’s hall of fame

[@itsmetherobloxguy]

@Keith Can Lebron pickup his PO then Lakers can trade him for Beal? That’s a win win for both teams

[@michaelbradley8209]

Celtics championship this year was easier then the bubble year

[@josephclark8386]

The bubble year was not easy but it's very easy for Boston to get to the finals with the weak Eastern Conference, but they're going to lose, Dallas will beat Boston hands down no problem, most likely a sweep

[@JerryMcKinnie]

Can Philadelphia get klay also

[@richardmartino7083]

It amazes me that you guys literally made excuses for a guy who clearly is not even a top 60 player okay who was 7th on his own team in scoring okay for a losing record team all right just any 6 ft 1 Ronnie is not earning it on his own as he said he wanted to he clearly has decided he wants to be on his father's team and will take whatever it takes just so we can get a contract even if he didn't actually earn it

[@ssholla92]

The only way that CP3 and LeBron could go to the Suns would be that they come on the minimum. The Suns can't trade for LeBron, since they don't have any contracts bigger than LeBron's contract.

[@ssholla92]

@@amc1140 The Suns can't trade KD for LeBron, because LeBron makes more money than KD. The Suns are over the 2nd apron, so they can't add another salary and can't take on a salary even $1 more than they are sending out. So, they can't trade for LeBron. It's just not possible.

[@demarbradleyify]

Well shoot

[@MrAxidol]

That’s a troll job by Lebron for the Suns to draft Bronny. Lebron is going to get Bronny be a spy for him😊

[@ToLooseGoose]

I like how a 40yr old LeBron is somehow a market setter. The guy is 40! Luka, Tatum, Jokic, Butler, and so on aint taking less money because LeBron did. 😂
