Than you have Lively as a back-up, that will take most of available minutes. So Bamba would basically get the third string center role, and I think he would not be interested at all. Guys like Drummond, as much as I hate him, are the third center types. Or some really unknown youngsters looking at last straws to come/stay in the league.
Beasley also out. Lakers politely said, they would consider them for vet min.

Completely disagree. He´s exactly the kind of player you pick up now. Sell him on getting a fair chance to earn the starting spot and his next payday. He´s only 25, but I seriously doubt, that he´ll get more than the BAE offer. He´s PERFECT guy to take a chance on.
Think about this. He spent his first 4 1/2 years in the league in Orlando.
Here are his starting PGs.
MCW/DJ Augustin
MCW/Fultz/DJ Augustin
Fultz/Anthony
Fultz/Suggs/Anthony
Fultz/Suggs/Anthony
He´s literally played with one true (veteran) PG in DJ Augustin in his whole career. He´s a rim-rolling big and that´s the inexperienced rookie crew he had, who were trying to learn how to read defenses and play, while throwing him lob passes.
I don´t know whether it would work out and the injury concerns are legit, but that´s the kind of situation you read, analyze and think LUKA.
And I´m 99%, he´ll go for the BAE.
