I agree with both you and @Maverick Floor Spurs want Boston to go “All In,” for Kawhi so they can get greater quality package than Lakers deal; but Celtics are saying “screw that.” We don’t want to give up Jaylen Brown and Rozier for a rental. Celtics feel they are good enough with Gordon Hayward and Kyrie coming back healthy this year. I expect the trade of Kawhi by the trade deadline. But the Lakers are trying to acquire pieces or picks to make it happen now. Makes it tough because the Lakers have to take on some possible payroll as a result. Something that pushes it to get done now.......is so that both organizations can set their rosters. Spurs need to decide on LMA, Danny Green, Rudy Gay, Tony Parker like right now. Having Kuzma and Ingram can alter some decisions.
I dunno man it’s more on the reader to determine if they believe whatever “sources” I’d rather someone share whatever random thing they hear than not. Like a dude in the right barber shop at the right time just broke the PG OKC thing.
I enjoy that as well. A member overheard a couple of Rockets front office people talking about the Francis trade at a mall and broke it here before it went down, instantly becoming The Mall Guy (blanking on the guy's moniker, but someone will likely come up with it), and a famous member, Popeye, who may no longer be with us, broke it about the same time. Those members are legends and deservingly so. This was before anything leaked, a real scoop. That was 40,000 members ago. I'm seriously not trying to give Daddy Long Legs a hard time. I'm just really tired of those who talk out their arse like they know everything that's going to happen, and it's just speculation, a guess. 'Holic is a perfect example. He knows basketball and I respect that, but he has an obsession with pretending like he's "in the know," when he's not. As a result. and because he's incredibly stubborn, he ends up looking like a clown. I get no pleasure from saying that, but it's what he keeps doing. If he ever guesses right, we'll never hear the end of it. If Daddy Long Legs heard something from someone who heard something about PG, cool. I must be tired, but I just can't remember that. Meanwhile, time marches on.
Yep u right now. Now we talking with smart fans. Another thing from the jump i thibk peoplr was not catching n tell me if u agree or no. People kept saying that with lbj going there it doesnt fit with him wanting to win. But i think people wasnt seeing the long view. Lbj wants to win the ultimate prize. Lots of people can when championships. But there can only best one...greatest of all time when u retire that is. Cause u never know when someone will surpass you but that's very hard to do more so then winning the championship. So with that set up u ask yourself. How can lbj bet jordan. Its more the one path to being thr greatest. He has lost to many times in the finals to take that route...of everytime im there i win. But if he wins in l.a. that would be thr first time a player has brought a chip to 3 different organizations. Thats never been done. So it would be as long as u have lbj. No matter where. U atleast gonna win a chip. Then the icing on the cake is doimg it in lakers.
N the whole lbj wouldnt go to l.a. with pg13 or kwahi is a duh but not important to even say cause from like 2 years ago u knew the possibility of one of them to going there like 98 percent chance. Cause by that time kwahi n pg13 would be free to just sign there...hometown kids that has made it know to he a dream. N i think with lbj its not about the first year but year 2 in la. Just l8ke year 2 in cav(part2) n miami. I believe lbj will win a chip in la eventually. I know we hate that as rockets fans but im always gonna call it like i see it
@Maverick Floor with egg all over his face...your off brand sauces must’ve been expired @Daddy Long Legs making u look silly
I would like to apologise to OP @Daddy Long Legs for ever doubting him. Good job and please give some lessons to bballholic on %s.
A lot of tampering was going on. I’m use to seeing the big dog taking their time and then the other dominoes to fall. This year it seems few are waiting for LeBron to sign. Many so called experts are throwing that out there as well. Rachel Nichols tweeted that out: “I’m shocked, SHOCKED to find gambling going on here.” (sigh) Seriously someone needs to explain to me why the NBA still has tampering rules. No one follows them. Can’t we just move on?” Rudy Gay, Aaron Baynes, Belinelli, Ariza, GG, PG13, Jeremy Grant, D Jordan are off the market.....but the Lakers could still piece together a team around LeBron. JJ Redick, Tyreke Evans, Luc MaM, Ellington, Amir Johnson, others. Chatter about Dame wanting out of Portland and Lakers might be an option. I personally hope the Rockets can tag Tyreke Evan and Luc MaM.....more if possible w/Capela. Look at the price tag of the OKC team salary projections. Crazy. Some are saying Lonzo Ball has had this injury prior. Some suspect the LaVar Ball camp has put the injury/surgery thing out there to halt trade discussions. Kawhi won’t play many games for Spurs or another team. Watch, he will go for arthroscopic surgeries before playing. He played 9 games and collected $18.9 mil and shut it down. Would not surprise me if Kawhi shut things down if not to Lakers.
