    Default Re: Laker News: Lakers may not sign any free agents in 2014

    New plan on what I think the Lakers should do for the season.

    1) If they draft a big man they should go after Melo (except on the off chance that hey draft Embiid) Offer Melo a contract starting at 18 million a season. Use the rest of the cap space to take on salary for draft picks. During the season trade the new drafted big, Nash's contract and expiring contracts they've acquired for Kevin Love. You'd have a core of Love, Melo and Kobe for the next 1.5 seasons and extra cap space when Kobe comes off the books. If Love is dead set on the Lakers signing Melo might entice him to force a trade to the Lakers and also deter Minnesota from trading him somewhere else since they can get something for him rather than nothing.

    2) Plan two if we don't draft a big (ie Smart, Wiggins, Exum) or draft Embiid we stand pat and wait for love in 2015. Take on salary for draft picks and/or maybe make a run at Monroe. Only problem with this plan is that Minnesota might trade Love to another team, we would most likely suck again which is bad because Phoenix has our pick and it would take the draft pick some time to develop and Love would be signing onto a 3 year rebuilding project.
