    Cause dudes like to play a competitive and being the guy on their team. Why would Durant leave GS, why did Kyrie leave the Cavs?

    I hope he stays in Toronto myself but ppl from SoCal just love SoCal especially if you have the money to really play out their.

    I think it’s 50/50 on Toronto or Lakers.

    If that actually happens I'm not sure what we can do. Lebron, Kawhi, Davis > Harden, Butler, CP3 and with CP3 playing like he's about to get his AARP membership it really isn't even close. Of course, our squad would be more durable. So there is a chance there. And there is also the chance that the Rockets do a better job of filling out the roster. But yeah. That'd be tough, man.

    And he will get all the credit if they win it all.

    Lebron James, the greatest of all time. Blah, blah, blah.......

    regardless of trade or FA, he was going to end up there bc of lebron, everyone knew that. the fact that we don't have to wait til AD is an actual FA another year is worse for the league.

    no woj has not said that.

    durant doesn't want to be the guy. why do you think he went to golden state to begin with? not everyone is competitive and wants to carry a team like kyrie. i bet where ever durant goes he won't have the burden of putting a whole team on his back.

    khawi has championships with 2 different teams now. i wouldn't be surprised if he just wants to chill in LA while not having to carry the team.

    Isn't it kind of bullshit that Pelinka can bumble**** his way into 3 Top 10 players just because it's the Lakers?? Also, the Rockets have to LITERALLY move mountains just at the CHANCE of getting a third star, but the second the Lakers need cap space for a third star, it's "Mr. Pelinka.....the Wizards are on Line 2!" Absolute horseshit.

    Really you are certain that Woj didn’t say that? You have heard everything this man has said. Your arrogance is A1.

    umm its pretty well known what woj has said throughout this entire process. its not top secret news.

    unless you're trying to tell us you called him on the phone and he told you that specifically. quit making up fake cf's rumors

    Yeah, they're the Lakers and they have that mystique about them (not earned lately).

    But Houston has no state taxes which fans in New York & California think is a bullshit advantage. And we may not have Miami's nightlife, but a lot of NBA players seem to like it which I'm sure that fans in Utah and Minnesota find to be kind of a bullshit advantage.

    The Lakers have their name and history; but it is not as if the Rockets are not blessed to have far more advantages than most teams in the NBA when it comes to intangibles and off-court benefits.

    Of all the players to do it, he's the least surprising. Dude is incapable of human emotions. Robot mother****er about to go create Golden State 2.0 just when we were finally out of this garbage era. And it's with the LAKERS no less....puke.
