What was the best Lakers offer?
Yeah but that was to send him to a team he might have wanted to go to that had great assets. This is to send him somewhere he'd never want play that didn't have a whole lot to offer.
What was the best Lakers offer?
Forget the Lakers, the Clippers offered a better package and they rejected it simply because they don't want to send Leonard home.
NICE! Yet another avenue blocked for The Group.
Pick 9 a 7”1’ fast developing big and DDR a 28yo 2nd team all NBA guy considering the position Spurs were in.... I’m very happy today.
Philly? Mills and TOR 1st for Covington? Or will they still be too asshurt from missing out on Nephew?
Don't bother with Toronto. They'll want no part of Deng, and that's the only unen bered salary you have on the books. None of your one year rentals will want any part of a Toronto detonation, and you need their permission to trade them.
It's transition time and for most teams that means out of the playoffs. Ask the Twolves how it's been. Spurs transition will be 6-7 seed for next few years. No one is beating GSW this year. KL going to the East is great. And unless someone saw an actual offer from another team everything that was said to be offered was just speculation. DD is a solid addition to current roster.
Those fans that we were going to get five first round picks and some bundle of you guys superstars were fooling themselves...
Here we have it. kawhi just quit on organization that gave him the best learning he could have IMO.
It looks like his value just went down after all the drama and we have no idea what really was going on. Strange how Pop could not reach terms with leonard. It seems not that long ago he called him the best player on the planet.
That is devastating
Probably too asshurt.
Just like Pop needed Kiwi's permission?![]()
The worst part is that this is a wing league. And we stuck on the wing. We have a load of guards.
Are we expecting Gay and Blossomgame to be our wings next year? Or undersized belinelli? Or undersized and old Manu?
Pop is going to roll out his Mills, Forbes, Derozan back court a lot I fear. We are going to be paying with 6'4-6'6"wings or SF a lot.
We are such an ass backwards franchise sometimes. And CIA pop is now loony pop
Pretty much means the other teams were not offering their best stuff.
Wouldn't it be kinda funny if Kawhi is so beat-down after this year, he's be forced to opt in for another year with Team Canada just to get paid at all.
For a team that had zero leverage at all this was a decent deal.
I agree OG on top makes it more palatable but what’s Toronto’s desire to drop him for... who?
At some point he'll have to demonstrate that he can actually play. The more time that passes from when he last played in a game, the more it hurts him. Yes, there were contributing factors to why he wasn't drawing serious trade offers, but if he had just finished playing a full season at a high level before his trade demand there would have been substantially better offers.
That the Spurs chose to move him at all should be a red flag to the rest of the league.
Anyone want to bet the Spurs team doctors were right all along that injury was chronic and the pain needed to be managed? I don’t think he’ll be fully healthy going forward.
The other possibility is that KL & uncle are just dumber than a box of rocks.
No, not like that at all, it's built into the CBA for a 1 year contract, the player gets a built in No Trade Clause he has to waive...
Since the Spurs haven’t had KL’s services for more than a year, it looks like Pop just traded Danny Green for Demar Derozan and a young serviceable big. Quite an improvement from last years team. It’s Go Spurs Go!!!!!!, not cry baby cry.
I am fine with Kawhi balling out in TOR. Hopefully he stomps on PHI and makes them feel like idiots for not taking their shot. Hopefully he loves it in TOR and spurns LA after their hubris and publicly slapping Kawhi in the face.
If Kawhi is healthy and balls out, man, SA will have gotten fleeced. I understand context, but I am truly shocked that TOR was able to not even give up a legit first rounder in a deal. Shocked. There was obviously a level of panic in this deal and ONLY if Kawhi is a s of himself is that panic justified.
It's a marvelous trade regarding the cir stances.
And any Laker fan in here can eat a .
Keep Deng and boys Hart, Kuzma. They have a year to write some poems for Kawhi just like they did Paul George...ahahahahaha! Oh, maybe offer Kawhi a part in Space Jam 2.
