I think Magic was fined due to how blatant his statement was. #FutureLaker basically forced Silver's hand.Quote:

I don't think he said anything like that this most recent time. I thought he just complimented Giannis on his skill and maybe said he's be an MVP or something.Quote:

I'm not sure, however, if PATFO would be willing to have a third under-the-cap year in four seasons or if Lebron would take even that much less when he can get the biggest contract ever if he stays. It would probably be easier to acquire James to replace Kawhi rather than pairing with him too, logistically speaking. I'm not sure Kawhi would want Lebron on his squad.Quote:

We could never know what Kiwi wants, since he rarely speaks but I expect him to have the same issues Irving had playing in Lebron's shadow.Quote:

Of course Kiwi's quad situation has placed the Spurs in a difficult spot with him, but I would expect Kiwi to not care about Lebron. And there's not enough ball for Touches, a high usage Kiwi, and Lebron. If Lebron were to consider the Spurs, one of their current stars might be on their way out.
I still don't think Lebron is headed to SA... But I also think Kiwi is legit not healthy and still hope he will be back next season. I could be wrong in all fronts.
Agree that Kawhi might not want LeBron here, and before all this injury drama his opinion might have been worth something. But if the Spurs can't count on him they have to improve the team however they can. Kawhi might also not want to rock the boat too much If he wants the supermax.Quote:

Subtle as Tony chatting up someone's wife at a party.
How would Labron feel being the Iron man of the NBA playing alone side a guy making 19mil an missing the entire season cuz he's not 100% healthy!?!Quote:

It's more that I don't think James will come unless the whole organization recruits him. If Kawhi pulls a Rose, I think James moves on. I agree that the team probably won't base their off-season purely on what Kawhi wants.Quote:

So James is in year two of a potential three-year deal. Bird rights would not matter if the team signs him. But it would matter if the team tried to trade for him, like Houston did with Paul. They'd have James with full Bird rights in 2019 in that scenario, rather than just non-Bird rights if he signed a one-year deal.Quote:
