Why the fuck would Durant get the same love as home grown players that resurrected the team and got them a title while he played tag along trying to elevate his status with easy rings then was bouncing the whole time?
let's dive a bit deeper
it was the fault of the lakers fans who jumped on the warriors bandwagon once they got good
I've seen the science
Idk. It seemed like last year Celtic fans loved Kyrie more than IT even tho IT played thru his sisters death and got fucked for the team. Fans are weird. Like Kyrie.
Is it possible Kyrie knew the Celtics' aint shitness levels were off the charts and simply acted accordingly?
He knew Ainge would have him play thru a injury, fire the medical staff, and then trade him so he left him at the altar.
KD was just a hired merc, durExit familia was all but inevitable and people around here knew it.
KD would of probably gotten way more love if he committed to a long term deal.

"I'm hearing internal rumblings that Kawhi is going to take his time making a decision with as much information as possible, and at this point that he could sign with the Lakers, Clippers, or Raptors."
Can I have my blue check mark now?

Nobody liked Kyrie last year.. Waited til the playoffs and he totally shit the bed and made himself look even more clown shoes. All talk then didn't produce when it mattered. What asshat shoots like 20 percent taking fade aways into triple teams then says I should have shot way more..Kyrie.
Well put. good to see some people on this board understand the proper way to build a team for long term success.
To the Anti Knick brigade and Steven A smith...Most real knick fans:
1) are committed to a proper rebuild. We want to see improvement from our developing players. We realize that it will take some years to build a team that plays at a championship level. The rebuild process started about 2 years ago(once Melo was traded), and we realize that successful rebuilds may take up to 4-6 years. We have the patience if we plan on having sustained excellence.
2) Understand in under no circumstance do you ever trade draft picks. Ever. Draft picks are the key to building any long term successful team. Hire good scouts and analytical personnel, and rely on them to identify and draft players that fit the identity of the team that you are trying to establish.
3) With the exception of Kawhi (and possibly Durant) no player in this free agent class is worth more than a 2-year deal( 3-year deal may be permissible depending on the price of said contract). 4-year, and 5-year deals are what ruin rebuilds.
4) Don't want to spend just to spend for spending sake. This has been a deep free agent class but it lacks true franchise players other than Kawhi (and Durant if healthy). This will result in many teams overspending on good but not great players and market price for these players get inflated (refer to Tobias Harris). Don't be one of these teams.
No, the NHL.
I've heard from one source that "Kawhi is seriously considering the Lakers, Magic sold him on it, and is convinced he'll be treated like LeBron and get his own medical staff, while also getting load management be saw in Toronto".
Another source told me "Kawhi was the Lakers to lose but Doc Rivers and the Clippers impressed him with their gameplan, lineup scenarios, and how they will build in future years."
Lastly, a different source told me "Kawhi isn't convinced he can get the same load management and attention outside of Toronto, and is thinking about running it back with Toronto. If he does, the plan is to sign a 2+1, which would take him to the 10 year vet super max level when it expires, allowing him to re-up with Toronto for 5 years at 40% of the cap at age 30, or 4 years with other teams like the Lakers or Clippers at 40% of the cap. It depends on what Toronto does with it's cap space in summer of 2020. Masai impressed Kawhi and Uncle Dennis."
Give me my blue checkmark. I know just as much as these fools when selling sports rumors. Kawhi hasn't said shit he likely hasn't made up his mind yet.
Kawhi is making this shit too difficult. He should have had Toronto fly to LA, and just had his meetings yesterday. I still don't understand how he doesn't know, but I'll concede that he's eccentric and truly thought about nothing but basketball until winning the championship. Still, dude has had two weeks to think about this. Fuck your feelings Kawhi, you got niggas out here trying to be productive but can't because their glued to Twitter to see when your ass is going to make a decision.
It's funny to see how often what fans want is so different from what players want.
Maybe if Sony weren't cowards and would actually show upto E3 instead of hiding E3 would've been more exciting.
the steph curry of video game companies, always wilt when the lights are brightest
Toronto is meeting him in LA and he's apparently meeting them today?
He wants them to see him sign for the other team in person.
Man as much as people shit on Lakers FO I just know in my bones Jim Buss would have fucked up the meeting with Kawhi. Jeanie you about to get your own statue if you pull this off.
Question from non-US resident: basically the only guy with some credibility covering Kawhi news is Chris Carter, right?
Look like Kawhi HAS NOT met with the Raptor yet. It's supposed to happen anytime today. In LA.
And of course, still nobody knows what's going on with Kawhi camp.

So Kawhi is Sony for not presenting on same day as everyone else
User banned (1 day): inappropriate joke.
Kawhi going to give as much weight to the Raptors' pitch as Kobe does to the word "No"
