Imagine KG ring chasing like LBJ did throughout his career, he would have probably had 5 championships to end his career and he would be viewed as a top 5-10 player. I always find it pretty funny when Lebron struggles for 1 season with his team and by struggle I mean losing at worst in the nba finals...he’ll hop to a different team to team up with stars and young legs to have better opportunities. It’s crazy and a little ugly looking at his career journey going different places multiple times.


He’s a mercenary. Plain and simple.
Handsome.

Eff LeBron, and eff Kawhi. Bring back Smart, sign Tyreke Evans with the MLE, ship Morris wherever.

Kyrie/Smart/Wanamaker
Jaylen/Rozier/Bird
Hayward/Evans/Semi
Tatum/Theis/Williams
Horford/Baynes/Williams

And wreck the league, especially the bitch Lakers and Sixers.

We haven't heard the Celtics mentioned in the Kawhi saga for some time. Maybe we are no longer interested?

That's one hell of a team.
Morris will be in demand among playoff teams in West. Could get a 1st in the 20s.

I know I dont post much here but I read a lot when I can. I respect a lot of opinions here and get a lot of good info. But I am actually surprised nobody has talked more about trying to add Dwight Howard on low $$. I mean think about the defense. I get it, hes a head case but i feel like hes at the point in his career wherd hes been humiliated and I bet hes ready to play his role for a good coach to finally get a ring and I cant see a better situation besides the Celtics to do that. There is GS but that's the KD route. Would be alot more meaningful in Boston and just imagine our defense/rebounding with him and Baynes together

It's been talked about and quickly thrown in the trash can and lit on fire.

Dwight Howard is a loser. Big fat hell no.

I predicted that in the first thread, but crazy to hear from a horses' mouth.

I believe that horse is facing the other direction.

Not saying it won't happen but I'll be stunned if the Spurs give in and ship Kawhi to LA.

That might be a nightmare they'll never get over. Legacy matters. Can't see Pops going out like that.

Yeah and if anything, that's just posturing from Leonard's camp to get the Spurs to trade him ASAP.

It definitely is.

Wouldn't the Lakers become more desperate to get Kawhi now and cough up even more?

I mean lets face it, the west is tough. The Lakers will need to add more.

They probably aren't going to have much of a choice. Kawhi holds so much leverage there. They can either trade him to LA for a package that will likely include Ingram or Kuzma or be spiteful and take significantly less from Boston or Philly because both franchises know there is a huge chance Kawhi doesn't re-sign. The Spurs would honestly be really silly not to take the best available deal, even if that deal is from the Lakers.

Pretty sure he was healthy DNPs to get time for Kuzma & Ingram. Wasn't super happy about it.

Damn that's **** up. Lakers putting a spin on it too, calling it the "Deng contract" when dude can actually still play.

He's obsessed with Baynes.
