PG hasn't made a public comment suggests [me] he's resigning in OKC, which leaves a Kawhi bidding war between Cavs/Sixers
Kawhi to Phili + LBJ to LA = epic drama

I think that PG and Lebron are both just waiting for LA to pull off a Kawhi deal.

I think that PG and Lebron are both just waiting for LA to pull off a Kawhi deal.

So they are both going to retire or sit out the season.

I’m hoping so.

As far as i know it's still june? What official free agency statements are you expecting? ESPN and George simply initiating some drama so people watch that 3 series show on ESPN about his free agency decision.

No one is surprised. He likely signs a 1+1 to become an FA again next summer.

Isn't this a precursor for a possible LeBron George TO LA. And Kahwai to 76ers

Just to go on record I got LeBron & PG on the Lakers & I got Kawhi in Philly.

I hate LBJ just for basketball reasons, but after a terrible betting nba regular season, that man made me a lot of $$ in the playoffs.

& I took him to LA when it first opened when it was at like +300 odds. Now it's like -350 lol. Got a nice little 130 for 390 on him going to LA.

It would be nice if they didn't get Kawhi at least, but him going to Philly would be pretty annoying too.

This league is becoming a joke. Superstars calling superstars to build a superstars team....

I'm cool with allstars doing this. Superstars are corny though. In my ideal world it'd be like ..

Superstars ::: Lebron, Durant, Leonard, Harden, Davis, Curry, Westbrook, Giannis - None of these guys should be on the same team with each other.

Allstars ::: Paul, Green, Butler, George, Irving, Hayward, Wall, Lillard, Towns, Klay, Cousins, Horford, Jokic, Towns, Walker, DeRozan, Aldridge, Porzingis, Embiid ++ Others i'm sure i'm missing.

LA w/ Lebron, PG13, Kemba team to me is awesome.
Bos w/ Kyrie, Hayward, Al +the young guns is awesome.
Say Minny had Lowry to Butler & Towns .. That's all cool with me. Lets get some great teams.
Imagine a Lillard, Kawhi led Spurs team? They're be awesome.
Westbrook & Porzingis in NY type thing.

But when the legit superstars who run the show are calling each other up (those 8 i listed, give & take some); that's where it gets real corny to me. But after what Durant did, i guess it has to be done no?

A super star & an allstar. Or maybe when they're a little older, a superstar & 2 all stars (KG w/ Pierce & Ray type thing), I got no problem with. But 26 year olds teaming up is just corny to me.

Cavs ready to start liquidating once LeBron leaves.

Kevin Durant was like 'why would I do that? You know what, as far as I'm concerned LeBron James is a big time player but the way I look at it, I should be perceived as the best in the world. Why would I think about doing something like that.'

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/250406/LeBron-James-Texts-Kevin-Durant-About-Joining-Him-With-Lakers

Hey DUMBASS you will never be the best player in the league. You can't lead a team to the title and had to join an existing champion to get your ring. Just stop with this nonsense. You'll always be behind LeBron, Steph and Kawhi.

Kevin Love to Phoenix next to Ayton could be just what he needs to regain his reputation.

The Big Question is: What will LA be like if they have to give up nearly all or all of their young stars to get Leonard. They may have 3 Superstars, but what about the supporting cast?? And then there's still the question of Leonard's injury.

Fairly sure this explains Danny's meddling in this case. Drive the price up so that the cupboard is bare when the stars arrive.

This tweet here is LeBron attempting to take away the Spurs leverage wrt a Lakers trade.

They sell out seats, get 48 televised games and the prime time Christmas day slot.

Also, they get knocked out in the second round.

Thad young opts in for 13 million dollar deal.. eats into pacers available cap space.. maybe puts them out for Gordon as well..
