LA is limited to what it can pay unless it matches a free agent offer under the Arenas Rule.Ah, i forgot LA would have to sign him first so he would lose like ~40 million off his max(which i think he gets). I guess i would take Rui in his place.
I’m not so sure there’s a willingness by LA to put up a real offer. If it’s just some combo of Rui plus Russell/Beasley/Bamba with no picks or Vanderbilt…..I’m out. The cap space would be more valuable. We have real leverage here no matter the situation
I lean more towards he stays at this point, but i do feel good we will not “Brunson” it up and we walk away with assets regardless
