Imagine still thinking he's coming here. All we'll ever be is a leverage play for the big names.

This aint tampering?

Lou, Trezz and even Gallo will look like bargains when this FA is over.

Trezz will be looking to make it to next offseason as healthy as possible if you know what I mean.

That not Trezz.

Plus he's playing to get PAID.


But you're right he won't be a bargain for long. Although, unless he can make himself into a 4/5, he's simply not an NBA starting center at 6'8".

Next season there will not be many big name UFA so he will be in a good position.
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

Hed be worth it for the Nets even if hes 75% of peak Durant.


I think KD is awesome. Don't take my question as a slight on him but is 75% of his stats worth 82 mill a year? Or if he plays 3 years make that 61 mill a year.


Yeah, the Warriors had no choice but to try to re-sign KD, because they don't have cap space for anyone else.

But for teams with cap space to sign him, knowing at most they only get 3 years out of him, it's a risk.

That first year back, in 2020-2021, he may not be 100%. He has to buck the odds like Dominique did and to a lesser extent, Rudy Gay, who's had a couple of good years after his Achilles but with a much more reduced role compared to before the injury.

Would you guys support the Clippers doing a sign and trade with Toronto?

Or do you want to keep all assets and sign him with cap space?

I will give the Kawhi and Jimmy (only if they're both coming here....no Jimmy by himself) all of my money.

They don't need my little piece of change but I'll do it.

I like a Gallo/Robinson for Kawhi (S&T) which would force to use cap space. We could do that deal under the CBA after signing Butler and Horford for example.

YES.

That is the path to Kawhi and Jimmy +:

1. Horford

or

2. Bringing back Pat Bev and Green

or

3. Filling out the rest of the roster with quality role players.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

I'm not getting hyped up anymore, especially when Stephen A. is the "source." I'll believe any major free agent is coming when I see it.
