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.

I also call BS on his crew saying he didn't text Durant. Of course they are going to deny that. I fully believe he texted KD.

Just stupid hot takes media sources digging for hot takes. I truly do hate all those dude. Smith, Sharpe, Skip, Cowherd. They're just just uneducated & gossip like a bunch a ******.

I don't like Nate Duncan & Danny Leroux or w/e his name his. But i can listen to them. Cause even tho i disagree w/ them often, at least they speak facts & ik they know what they're talking about. I leave more educated. These main stream guys who watch 1 game a week & gossip about nonsense is just irritating.

Nah dude. I fully believe he texted Durant. This is LeBron we are talking about here. Say what you want about Stephen A., but he is connected. Remember: he had LeBron to Miami months before it happened and had Doc Rivers to the Clippers long before it occurred, as well.

You're one of my fav guys on this board. But I got to respectfully disagree on this.

LBJ is more calculated then anyone. He's not gonna go after Durant. No one's against PG & LBJ team up. If KD leaves for LBJ? The hate will be just as bad as Miami. Bron is smarter than that.

& SAS breaking the Miami trio was almost 10 years ago. He wasn't the celeb, nor had the relevancy back then. Hell, I ****** with him a lot back then. He was cool. He's corny now. He spitting at minimum 2 hot takes a day. If he hits a handful of the years, i'm not surprised.

Sixers might go after Jabari Parker. High risk high reward signing if they can’t landGeorge or Lebron. They could still go after Kawhi via trade.

Can Lebron, George, and Jordan still be part of sign and trades or does the opt-in preclude that??? It seems like there are mixed signals about this. Also, technically speaking, can they still sign a brand new contract with their old team after opting-in to FA status??

Are those two letters at the end of the sentence short for some form of profanity?



Haven't you all done this before. LeBron leaving Cleveland. D Jordan leaving the Clippers to sign with Dallas. Kawhi Leonard being silent. Dirk taking a pay-cut so the Mavs can waste their money on losers. The Raptors being irrelevant.

Dirk’s been loyal to Dallas and has a ring to show for it. Always appreciated him over there. The Last of the Mohicans... everyone from here on forth will treat the NBA like AAU.
