The Lakers are now down to 16 players, having waivde Jonathan Holmes today. It sounds like both he and Michael Frazier will be playing for the D-Fenders. As for Robert Upshaw, from everything I have read I would prefer it if he would find himself elsewhere. It is going to take him a long time to be NBA ready, if ever, and the baggage he brings isn't worth coddling him here.
As for the final cut(s), I would dispose of Sacre, whose 1M salary can be stretched over 3 seasons (big shit, especially considering the absurd cap increases). Kelly has shown enough in the preseason to stay and maybe he's ready to take that next step or perhaps he's shown other teams that he's worth a gamble on for trade bait. I wouldn't eat that salary if i were the FO. Jabari Brown is a one dimensional ballhog who we don't need, so it wouldn't bother me at all if we disposed of him and kept a roster spot open. The only problem with that is Clarkson's injury, but we have Kobe, Nick and Lou to man the #2 position and if we keep MWP, which we should simply for work ethic purposes to tutor the infants, there's enough flexibility at small forward.
So dump Sacre and J brown and keep a roster spot open. That's what i think.
