No problem. That's what I've been trying to convey. I could go into Space Jam 2 details but won't. Either way, LeBron and Paul George were never contingent upon each other or Kahwi. If Kawhi is not traded to the Lakers, LeBron and PG would still sign with the Lakers. It was a done deal last year. They planned it perfectly. The world is going to go bonkers when LeBron announces his decision via Uninterrupted and Space Jam 2. They timed it well, especially with the advent of InstagramTV. Genius. Don't underestimate LeBron the Business Man. Don't underestimate Rob Pelinka. He knows what he's doing. I get that people are cautious when someone claims to have inside information. But to treat people with such vehement contempt without even hearing them out is folly. I hope I was respectful to everyone and whoever wanted to receive this info. I did not make any personal attacks on anyone or your team. I just wanted to pass along some interesting information.
Why is everybody suggesting Jimmy Butler? Is he a free agent? If not, do we just magically assume that the TWolves would just trade him to us because we want him?
Maybe. But at the rate LBJ is going he might peak at 50. Also, as much as I love James, but I think we will see him peak soon/now. It doesn't mean he can't sustain playing at an elite level, but I don't see him really getting much if any better.
The problem is the Clippers have nothing really good to trade, their best piece is Tobias Harris which is a good player, nothing more, and he's expiring.
speaking about Butler the Wolves are in dreadful financial position right now. It actually makes sense for them to now reverse trade Wiggins back to the Cavs for Love.
100% how I read it! Eased the Lakers pressure to give up the kitchen sink. And the Spurs Social Media posting the Happy B'day Kawhi...probably trying to help their leverage on keeping him.
Thanks for the info. To be honest, I thought LeBron wasn't in the mindset to be patient and wait out another year of his prime with a young Lakers squad. Hard to say no to a life of beaches and a big market like L.A., though.
Don't get me wrong. We definitely could have used Lebron's services. For once, i would have liked to have a series with the Worriers as the favorites. Kinda tired of being the underdog against that bunch. Still, LeBron ain't coming. Harden does not want him here (see Cybersex latest posts on his thread). Lets move on towards improving the team.
If i'm the Spurs I'm talking to everyone besides LA right now after Lebron pulled that. There are other teams with assets willing to pay for a possible rental of Kwahi.
If I was Milwaukee I would offer right now Jabari + Bledsoe + Donte What's his name + Brogdon. At least it could beat what the Lakers are offering right?
