Yep, Magic knows the price for Kawhi and it will likely be met now.My guess is, Lebron wants to move all the kids for veterans and the Lakers said OK, but only if you sign long term. Don't bother renewing your leases Brandon, Kyle and Lonzo.
Sure he wants to but if Danny gives the best package it doesn't matter what Kahwi wants.Nope--Kawhi still saying he wants to go to LA.
Getting rid of KCP/Lopez/IT for Lebron alone makes them close to a 50 win teamI still don't understand why he wants to go to a 35-47 team.
Obvious rental now, so extremely doubtful.Sure he wants to but if Danny gives the best package it doesn't matter what Kahwi wants.
Yeah, I get how trades work. And it absolutely matters what Kawhi wants. He's a FA next year.Sure he wants to but if Danny gives the best package it doesn't matter what Kahwi wants.
So was Paul George. I'd bet that once in the fold and a trip to the Finals could change his mind quickly. Also the fact he can get the most money wherever he lands next.Obvious rental now, so extremely doubtful.
There are places showing its top-10 protected. Which is suddenly a very big difference! https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailedCavs gave up their 2019 unprotected first for Kyle Korver
Not the Cavs fans I know.Lots of Cavs fans suddenly turning into Lakers fans now.
Can’t wait to see updated odds.
Just not sure Jaylen Brown is worth that coin flip.So was Paul George. I'd bet that once in the fold and a trip to the Finals could change his mind quickly. Also the fact he can get the most money wherever he lands next.
Yeah but I actually believe the conspiracy theory that LeGM told PG to fuck off once Kawhi became free. Kawhi wont change his mind if Lebron wants him.So was Paul George. I'd bet that once in the fold and a trip to the Finals could change his mind quickly. Also the fact he can get the most money wherever he lands next.
This is so underrated.When's that 76ers meeting start?
LeBron and Kawhi probably decided on this in February.Now I hope Danny goes and gets Kahwi before the Lakers can. Build it around Jaylen and Sac 1st.
They have plans to build an arena in InglewoodAlso how soon do the Clippers move to Seattle or Vancouver?
The last two times he moved teams, he arranged for there to be two other stars or near-stars with him. But this time he signs before Kawhi or any other top-tier player?Getting rid of KCP/Lopez/IT for Lebron alone makes them close to a 50 win team
Add Kawhi and they are better than the 2018 Cavs
An my bad and too bad. Would have been great.There are places showing its top-10 protected. Which is suddenly a very big difference! https://basketball.realgm.com/nba/draft/future_drafts/detailed
Yes, but next year is looking like a no go for them. LBJ will be 35 when they are ready.Lakers can bring back Randle now, roll the max space over to next year and sign Kawhi or another max.
They should let him go unless he can suddenly shoot.Lakers can bring back Randle now, roll the max space over to next year and sign Kawhi or another max.
Is Boogie going to get a max deal, or a one year deal to show he can still play? Can the Lakers do a sign and trade with the pelicans and still get Kawhi?Lakers can bring back Randle now, roll the max space over to next year and sign Kawhi or another max.
Maybe he thinks a year without a long playoff run will be good for him.Yes, but next year is looking like a no go for them. LBJ will be 35 when they are ready.
Spurs have him for only one more year, then he is unrestricted, his value diminishes every game into the season he plays.The play for SA really is to wait this out. It would be amusing if LA starts with this crew or this plus Boogie, and isn't that great. Then the price goes up, up, up. Yeah, Kawai is going there for sure, but a burned year for him is a real cost, and for LeBron, it could be a huge cost.
He shot 58% on 2s last year, 72% from the line, advanced stats liked his year. He’s a productive player that if nothing else would give them a young asset on a mid-tier contract in trades.They should let him go unless he can suddenly shoot.
Don’t know what I want more, the first time LaVar calls out LeBron or Lonzo to get traded for a better running mate.
They can trade him to a contender mid-year.Spurs have him for only one more year, then he is unrestricted, his value diminishes every game into the season he plays.
Please please please trade him.
Yeah, in this environment he won’t get as much beyond his worth as the last two seasons, but in the playoffs, in half-court situations and needing stops, I wouldn’t expect him to see the floor much.He shot 58% on 2s last year, 72% from the line, advanced stats liked his year. He’s a productive player that if nothing else would give them a young asset on a mid-tier contract in trades.
It might be wishful thinking, but if you've got a petulant superstar, or even one you just want to move, you wait until you get an absolute ransom, see Danny's deal for Pierce and Garnett to Brooklyn. We could have dealt them for DeAndre Jordan. We did infinitely better.They can trade him to a contender mid-year.
You don't give up Brown based on hope.So was Paul George. I'd bet that once in the fold and a trip to the Finals could change his mind quickly. Also the fact he can get the most money wherever he lands next.
Boogie was an odd fit with an LBJ team unless he became more of a perimeter player. Since Potapenko, he's never really played with a back to the basket center.I'm shocked he made this move before they acquired Kawhi. Now Boogie is out of the picture too? If Pop won't deal with LA, this is a bizarre play.
Lakers no longer have the space to sign Boogie unless it's a huge discount. Sign and trades have to be for three years, can't see LA being willing to lock him in for three years, or Boogie being willing to leave last two years non-guaranteed to facilitate a deal.Is Boogie going to get a max deal, or a one year deal to show he can still play? Can the Lakers do a sign and trade with the pelicans and still get Kawhi?
Why the attachment to KCP? Was it a package Klutch deal?I'm shocked he made this move before they acquired Kawhi. Now Boogie is out of the picture too? If Pop won't deal with LA, this is a bizarre play.
Maybe this is a transitional year for Lebron/Lakers. They keep their young assets this season. Sign Kawhi next year. Deal assets for veterans next year.I'm shocked he made this move before they acquired Kawhi. Now Boogie is out of the picture too? If Pop won't deal with LA, this is a bizarre play.
