Lol who does at this point?

[Michael Jordan.]

If the Los Angeles Lakers pair a second superstar with LeBron James this summer, it likely won't be Kawhi Leonard.
Appearing on the Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective Show (h/t RealGM.com), ESPN's Michael C. Wright said he doesn't believe Leonard is interested in signing with the Lakers as a free agent.
"I do not," Wright said. "That's just what I've been told. It's what I've been told going back to last summer. I don't see that as something that's happening. I think he goes to the Clippers."

1am in the morning thinking about the Kang and posting on ST - on a Friday night? Sheeeit, couldn't be me son. At that time of night I be knee deep and putting hoes to sleep!

I got on to post a few times last night while she was resting during my refractory period. After about 3 minutes I was right back at it.

You were hoping that Kawhi would come and now that’s gone. You s gonna end up with Jimmy Butler and Austin Rivers.

Anthony Davis has no control right now.

[Michael Jordan.]

[Michael Jordan.]

Paul said no
George said no
Kawhi said No


who who am I missing?

[Michael Jordan.]

Even The Corpse of Melo said no

I think at this point, there are still plenty of stars that wouldn't mind playing w/ LeBron even though he's the coach and GM in his mind.. Living in LA is a selling point on it's own.. I would say the real threat to the Lakers now is Magic and Pelinka and FA's not knowing what type of trash players they might be surrounded by to fill the roster if they were to join.

Which stars? Because we know more of the ones that said no than yes

The LA desirability myth has been pretty much dispelled. No one has gone there on their own accord for a decade.

No one has wanted to play with LBJ in almost the same amount of time.

At best, they're going to draw ring chasers and Tier 2 and Tier 3 stars. Your Jimmy Butlers and Kyrie Irving's are their best case scenarios and those guys dont make anyone better. Maybe a Klay Thompson if Golden State keeps Durant. But again, Tier 2 and 3. Davis has no leverage and isnt a winner, great stat darling but not a winner at all.

Your real prizes of the offseason-Leonard and Durant- are staying put or going to LAC and NYK respectively.

Doesnt matter what time of day the truth is poster, Anibal. It's still the truth.

Never understood players having to play in a city. They play there October to April and half of that time is on the road. So essentially you’re there for 3.5 months. You don’t get to enjoy the city during the playoffs. So that leaves the summer time, which a player can just get a second home wherever they want because they are that rich.

LA isn’t a great place to raise a family either so why go there in the first place?

The only reason is the proximity to Hollywood.

But you said no other stars want to go there..he asked to go there..

And is not going there

What does Kyle Griffith think about it?

are you picturing somewhere off Crenshaw or what?

LA's surrounding area and California in general is beautiful, main question there being can you afford the cost of living.. Pro athletes can, so I don't see the downside

[Michael Jordan.]

How did I forget to mention Durant not wanting to join him either.

Let's be honest, he's a Spurs fan too.
