Well, they do have a salary floor they are reuqired to meet, so why not grab some extra picks to meet it?
They haven't been active in FA, so it makes sense..
Unless they feel they can compete and we work out a S&T with DC where they get Hill and Ajinca and we take back Lopez and someone else (Justin Holiday?)
We would then have cap space and ALOT of trade exceptions where we could move Moore and a 1st for someone like Barnes
I'm not sold this doesn't eliminate Cousins. There's only so much frontcourt to go around. I don't imagine Randle was excited about this deal knowing he could easily be the 4th big.

Source: Lakers and Demarcus Cousins are close to finalizing deal in principle barring any last minute snags with medicals.

I really dont want AD Cousins Niko and Randle, it's too much at the 4 and the 5.
Good news everyone!
A heads up: My last tweet regarding non-taxpayer MLE was incorrect. Cap holds (like the $27M hold for DeMarcus Cousins) don't count against towards tax or apron. The Pelicans do have the non-taxpayer MLE (around $17.7 million over two years) without renouncing Cousins. My bad!

Hooray for cap holds!
The dream of signing Boogie and even trading him still lives
