This is awesome, one more great narrative to our already rich 30 for 30 in the making.

That's not necessarily a good thing for us if Philly go hard for Kawhi

I’m not worried about Kawhi in Philly. Not at all.

In retrospect, when the Cavs shipped Isaiah and Frye to the Lakers, they helped them open up some cap space (about $15 million) to sign LeBron and another big-ticket free agent. Well done, Cavs' management! You made Lebron happy midseason, but for all the wrong reasons!

So LeBron, GS, and the Rockets all in the same conference? Let's hope they decimate one another, will definitely see how this goes

Lebron leaves the Cavs in ruins again buy at least they have a title to show for it. There has to be another move coming for the Lakers because Lebron signing there as a lone wolf doesn't make any sense to me.

I expect KL and Cousins to join the Lakers.

I actually hope that Cousins signs with the Lakers. It would be a dream offseason. There is not enough popcorn on earth to enjoy the long-term drama that would ensue in Lakerland.

Do they have the money for LeBron, Kawhi AND Cousins?

On top of Achilles tears have not been kind to many returning players. Cousins in all likelihood will never be the same player.

Still, I don't think the Spurs will be in any hurry to trade KL to the Lakers. At this point the KL may just wait a year then join the Lakers.

Still, a bit of a surprise move by Lebron because this is not normally his MO. I guess there were no more super teams to create so he settled for LA.

So all the big names signed in the first hour of free agency, and now it is just the lowly teams like Toronto and the Lakers scrambling to sign players?


I laugh at the silliness of players like Lillard. Sad that Ed Davis left, but not able to understand that their greed was what caused players like Ed Davis to go.


Took long enough, maybe it was overshadowed by the Baynes and Durant signings, but Jake Layman is back with Portland. Contract option has been picked up by them. So you will have to wait a year, or for a trade, to have Layman back in Boston.

Lakers can sign Cousins this year. As for next year and KL. Well these things always seem to work out.

No more LeBron in the east. If it wasn’t 90 degrees out I would say the air feels fresher...

Am I reading this correctly? Australian bookies have the Lakers as 2nd favourites for the title at $5.....
