    thx for the tidbit ... ch44!!

    As to your question: If Morey were in Magic's position, his motto is to always be prepared for anything. Until he does it, he hasn't done it. No harm in being prepared, though.

    I think Ingram by a hair but you or anyone else isn't crazy for taking Saric.

    If you think the talent is close + 10th pick, if you're the Spurs, you send him to Philly right?

    Oh and I'm not taking on Luol Deng if I'm San Antonio. I've seen both fans & media send Deng back to SA in proposals.

    I like Saric... but think this stance might make you look silly.

    He's a PF playing 30 mpg giving you 6.7 rpg.

    The thing here is Saric was a REALLY good three point shooter on VOLUME last year.

    So it's basically the upside of Ingram as a ballhandler/creator.

    Kawhi better get a ton of heat for how he’s handled this situation...this is ridiculous

    imagine if Harden ever did this

    Yeah they would send him to Philly for sure in this scenario. They'd have to love Ingram and I just don't see that.

    exactly
    His camp talked to the media before even talking with Pop and Duncan and informing the Spurs.
    A real b**** move if I ever saw one.

    Even if they get the 80 million more now he's burning more and more bridges.

    RPG isn't a meaningful stat to me without context anymore. So many teams run defensive schemes where the "PF" isn't in the paint for rebounding opportunties. Saric's 3 point shooting on volume and his really strong performance in the playoffs is good to me.

    However, I get it if people like Ingram. I just don't love his upside personally.

    2 days ago Lakers Jeanie Buss tweeted this.



    And now Kawhi wants out.

    Notice the tweet was from Manhattan, NY. Which is where Kawhi has been rehabilitating.

    "pf's" aren't going to average big rebounding numbers in this era. they spend a ton of time out on the perimeter

    At this point i think we end up by trading Ryan, three first rounders, second rounders and salary fillers to Cleveland for Lebron...and Gordon with Nene to OKC for George.

    Lmao would be hilarious.

    i too would take saric over ingram. ingram is another player that gets a ton of hype to me but still hasn't shown enough to set himself apart. for all the attention embiid and simmons gets, saric gets very little. he can definitely play and is pretty versatile at that

    The rumors remind me of the kid realtor who said Dwight Howard was in Houston looking for houses.

    Did Houstonians all leave their phones at home today? I tend to think if LeBron was here, there would be at least a photo or two somewhere. But naturally, I'm still curious.

    I mean, we laugh at Berman at the airport. But he would be next level if he could confirm the LBJ at Kinkaid thing.
