I agree. Irving has that rapport with Lebron and has been humbled. He does have that injury history tho and not sure his ego would match with AD.

Was thinking Klay myself. Already good at third fiddle. Super sniper.

Reddick
Middelton

Middleton will probably be like 85% Max?

Reddick is turning 35 this month. Will be very Cavs LeBron type move if they sign him.

If the LA could snatch Malcolm Brogdon and Brook Lopez from the Bucks, oof. They lost key defensive players in Ball, Hart and Ingram, so they will need to find shooters who can hang their own on defense.

Brogdon is too risky. Just go for top dogs.

Plan B would be Horford(if available), Mirotic
Bi-anniual(if available) to Hill
split the rest between Lamb and one of Curry/Bullock/Ellington
Sign Caruso(he's kinda good)
Keep room exception for the next year.

But I'm sure their FO will phuck up big time, if they can't get top FA

Listened to the original Kawhi laugh video for the first time today. Don't get why it went viral. Ujiri is laughing in there too, so it sounds off, but Leonard's laugh is nothing special. Oh well.

that laugh must've sealed the deal to stay

Houston Rox with internal strife? Can't imagine with that winning personality Harden has. Must be everyone else.

I didn't get it either, though this edit was great

Not sure LA can afford to write off a year of Lebron waiting for Klay or KD to rehab an ACL/Achilles.

It's LA. They'll be shooting for the stars. Irving, Walker or Butler would all be choices 1A. Failing that, they'll go for the Middleton or Vucevic's of the world (who would be sneaky good in LA too).

If they strike out on that, could see them trying to round out with DeAndre Jordan and Reddick/Bogdanovic type guys.

Unless they're just absorbing him into cap space, what exactly would we be getting from this trade? LA would have like 5 guys under contract lol.

LA also don't have any picks to trade at all given all the futures they're giving up.

Outside of Lebron and AD, their roster consists of like Mo Wagner and Bonga :laugh:

Harden and Paul had tense exchanges regarding Harden's ball dominance and Paul's desire to run set plays as the Warriors pulled off a comeback during the fourth quarter of Houston's Game 6 elimination loss, team sources said.

According to sources, Paul was also frustrated by what he perceived as Harden's tendency to ignore unglamorous details that impact winning -- such as moving when he gives up the ball to help spacing -- and wasn't shy about expressing those concerns.

I threw out the possibility of Hassan still opting out before the 30th and signing there. He may be talking with Rich Paul to see what he could get there should he opt out. Weighing up if its worth it to leave money on the table to avoid riding the bench here for a year over playing significant minutes on a championship contender in his expiring year.

He is right; as big of a offensive megalodon Harden is, his off-ball game is muy pobre. Pretty wild that Harden is that big of an offensive force without an offball or mid-range game. I hope it's painfully obvious to him this off-season that he needs to get up on that if he wants to win
