"It's impossible to say LeBron played no part in me joining Klutch, simply because he has been Klutch since the beginning," Green said. "He's essentially a founding partner. I've already had a relationship with LeBron for years, so it's always good to be able to do business with family that's going about their business in the right fashion and getting things done. But as far as recruiting me -- no, LeBron didn't recruit me at all."

Yep. He is basically saying that Lebron is an agent.

Would love to see a Houston - Warriors matchup in the WCF again. Houston has their number.

This Brandon Ingram issue is no joke. Pels would be crazy to trade for him now.

SINCE AD's Trade Request in Jan, the following has happened ..

Lonzo had season ending surgery (now 2x's in 2 years)
Ingram has baby form of Bosh's issue.
Hart needs knee surgery in the summer.
Kuzma's 24 & good.
They traded Zubac for some reason no one knows.

DAMN.

I don't know if they have their number. However, I can't see Denver, Port, SAS, Utah, Lac giving GSW a real fight.

I think OKC could give them a solid battle. (Like 6 games ish)

I think Hou could potentially beat them. (Tho I wouldn't bet it unless odds were crazy).

This is a bad sign for him. He’s now sitting behind a 2nd year guard who he cannot get minutes ahead of. And you can’t really blame DEN since they are at the top of the West without him. Why screw with chemistry just to get him some min?

Can you imagine if they forced that GM to make that trade? They fired him after he made the 100% correct call.

That GM had no power at the trade deadline. The current owner and "gm" were making all the calls. Demps was a figure head who took phone calls at the time. He wasn't fired because he didn't make the deal. he was fired in reality long before the deadline.

He really should've got that surgery right after the playoffs. Take the whole 17-18 season off, get closest to 100% as possible & then come back.

This playing at 30% last yr for Cleveland. This not being right in Denver is such a bad look. He just looks like he's not moving well.

I feel terrible for him. & Ik we're partly at blame for that. But once he traded him he shoulda made it known what he's doing that's best for his career.

I mean maybe if have their number means, close games and a little suspense but never Eliminating them. They lost a close game without KD, they blew a series last year and have been eliminated 3 out of the last 4 years by them. No one has their number

Are the Warriors better without KD?

Interesting video, voicing most of the stuff I've been saying about LBJ for years.

So according to these tweets Celtics are better without Kyrie, Raptors are better without Kawhi and Warriors are better without KD.
In other words all top3 free agents this summer are not valuable to their current teams.

LBJ doesn't play any defense at all, he jogs on defense and doesn't cover any1. Teams in the league have noticed and are abusing him for the most part getting his man on offense in pick'n'roll situation and they score, score and score, also no help defense, no close outs, etc...

So Jeannie Buss believes the Anthony Davis trade rumors were leaked to the media by.... the media?

What? How is this supposed to even make sense?

I believe he meant Sleeper Agent Extraordinaire Rajon Rondo.

Rondo’s been negatively impacted everywhere since he was traded from Boston. What, 8-9 years here and hasn’t had two seasons with another team?

Love what he did here and one of my favorite C’s but the knee and then his Dallas exit nuked his value around the league. Now he’s on a lottery bound LA team. May struggle to find a contract next season.
