I bet they’ll end up wanting to dump this contract before it’s over. I’m just not a believer in his health and impact.


Me neither... I think this will be another contract that hamstrings that franchise. Need to stop looking for the next Dirk.
It's like us looking for the next Magic or Kobe...

Hmm, didn’t Griffin say “this is Jrue Holiday’s team”? It just hit me.

Was that a bat signal to all other GMs? Don’t think this is a two team deal. I’ve had a gut feeling from the start but this makes me think it is at least a three team deal.

I think Lonzo is going to Chicago. Griffin doesn’t want LaVar in his life. “This is Jrue Holiday’s team...”

Agreed... guys with his length can’t play the style of ball he does without developing significant knee problems at some point. I was hoping he would prove me wrong as he seems super likable but at this point it seems quite clear his style will have to change as he ages.
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

I don’t see how you don’t file a complaint for tampering against Boston if you’re Charlotte. This Kemba stuff is over the top tampering.

I got no dog in this fight but how can the Celtics and Kemba W have an agreement before free agency opens?

Kyrie expected to sign with Nets
KD expected Knicks or Nets, probably Knicks
Kemba expected Boston
Klay expected to sign GSW

Pretty much leaves KL and not too much on him

Think it's time start to forget the 3rd star
Let King kuz be 3rd star and start building a solid team

We’re getting Kawhi. I still think so. If we can sign the best player in the world, do it.

If not Kawhi, Vucevic. He was just offered 4/$25m by Orlando.

Plan B: If no KL, offer him 4/$26M

Caruso
Kuz
LeBron
AD
Vucevic

Guard that.
