Kawhi Leonard has signed with the Los Angeles Clippers; Paul George also traded to Clippers
- Thread starter Gravity Insanity
- Start date
KD wasn't gonna go anywhere without a no.2 star, so KD/Kyrie were likely always a package deal. It may have been the Knicks instead of the Nets, but that's about it.
Sure, Clips won 11 more games and didn't have their star player get hurt. But both teams gutted their talent to upgrade and don't even need to show up for the first round of the NBA Draft until their signings have left the team or moved elsewhere. That was my point: people crapping on the AD trade should be saying the same thing here.
I think it's the right move, honestly. LBJ+AD for all of your first rounders plus some young guys, or Kawhi + PG + all your 1sts + some young guys...either way, you get the sure thing now. If things don't work out, your team rots for awhile to rebuild, but as the Raptors showed, better to try and chip now then pretend it's about your future 3 years from now. As much as I respect OKC for making the move, these teams are both basically using the lesson learned from OKC dealing Harden: don't do it.
I don't know if this has been posted:
That's insane.
That's insane.
Kawhi, PG, Bevs, Harrell and Sweet Lou.
That's a fuckin problem.
That's a fuckin problem.
Danny already confirmed.
Danny Green just signed for 30M for 2 years. 15M a year is definitely an overspend but Lakers have to at this point.
What a stupid top 5. Not having Giannis top 5 can't take your basketball post serious.
$15M a year for Danny Green is not an overspend in this market.
Giannis has been great for one year. Those other guys for multiple. With multiple playoff runs.
I'm curious to see if the Lakers experiment fails this year and AD thinks about signing somewhere else next year lol. So many either don't want to play with LeBron or want to leave hmm.
The Lakers is the perfect representation of an idiot winning the lottery. They squandered all they're assets. No high level negotiation: Randle, dlo and picks. they overpaid for a star who only wanted be with the Lakers and whom they had assets to trade for with a reasonable deal. Frak. Whatever.
When Reddick is getting 2/$26 million it isn't. Guys who can shoot and play D are getting paid.
Umm that's probably up to him. Pretty sure this puts them over the cap now. They have either the MLE (4.8m) or an expiring 9.8m trade exception from the Tobias Harris trade. Not sure if they can use the trade exception to continue going over the cap though.
Don't worry, we'll get Giannis in a couple of years, the fix is in with Jason Kidd.
Your not serious right lmao dude made 3 all star past 3 seasons. avg 22,26,27 ppg past 3 season while being great on defense and top 2 in league +- system. you don't know what your talking about lmao.

Yeah but I'm talking about Butler, Kemba, Al, any number of guys who were available, yet the Knicks couldn't even sniff a meeting with any of them because, well, they're the Knicks.
Meh. Come post season time Gobert is neutralized and Mitchell is way too young
You do know Paul George had surgeries on both his shoulders this year right? Dude probably shouldn't had been playing for a bit out there. I don't know what your issue has been this whole thread. Overly aggressive for no reason. Relax.
Lakers should make a few calls and get other people to decommit.
Poetic as fuck. Holy shit.
This is a GOAT development in sports history.
Radio is going to be so lit in LA for the next few years. As a Blazer fan I better up my troll game.

He doesn't want to play with LeBron, that's the issue. A lot of stars don't want to be around that whole circus.
I put Lebron, KD, Steph, Kawhi and Harden in front of him lol.
No way one great season surpasses them
Don't think anyone wants that contract. Especially not now that the Rockets can't get Jimmy.
How the hell did you type that out and not get what I'm saying? Stats say he is top 3 but hes really top 10
Sorry but based on what you said, you were just wrong and trying to say its because of his shoulders is why his team didnt beat the damian lillard guard led blazers, aafter saying that youd take PG over lillard because a team led by lillard wont take you as far is fucking hilarious
How the hell do you not understand that justifying he is top 10 because of stats means you are justifying hes top 3 because of stats. Smh
Not to mention the likelihood of a couple more lottery picks of their own sprinkled in there.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with WB, and how OKC's fanbase reacts to the franchise being more or less irrelevant for a few seasons. They've been pretty spoiled for quite awhile.
Wojstradamus has been saying it this whole time but nobody listened....
Because I recognize that he has top 3 stats but I look further into it to determine(as in seeing how he play in games etc) where i am ranking him? Are you stupid?
I have been saying this whole fucking time that its more than just stats. So thanks for now backing up my point smart guy.
Just in California alone you have:
LeBron
PG
Kawhi
AD
Curry
Klay
Harrison Barnes
An embarrassment of riches.
