He can also help Romeo Langford fix his shot's mechanics, no?

Yeah they traded Brogdon to Indiana for a couple picks.. They also signed RoLo for the lower exception..


Rolo is trash, if he doesn't hit the 3, a guy like Kanter will bully him. And he didn't hit the 3 much in the playoffs. Brogdon to me is A HUGE loss for the Bucks, and they paid Middleton way too much.


I think they overspent on a number of their resigns.. Basically locked into that roster now..Giannis leaving will cripple them.. doubt he does tho


Oh, he will. He'll end up in NY or LA or MIA like everyone else. :roll:

On a side not, Zach Lowe's head is really long and cucumber-ish.

KD and Kyrie to Brooklyn was a done deal months ago.
Horford's deal w/ Sixers done two weeks ago. He was never coming back.
Money among other factors was a reason he left. He also wanted to play his more preferred PF position.


I don't think an Embiid-Horford-Simmons front line will work at all.

Thinking he knows he is going to the Clippers....and the longer he waits to make his decision, the less chance the Lakers have to fill out their team with quality help...He wants to win and not just be a second or third fiddle doing that...It's LA but it's the Clippers...

I think it's a masterpiece of the highest level if they land him. It's still a great job if he goes elsewhere.
West with $33M in cap space will do some other nice things as well.

I see it the other way around. The longer it takes the more it’s likely he is going to the fakers but I agree with you on the clippers. They have a better roster top to bottom.

I mean damn if he leaves TOR. Their fan base is by far the most obnoxious on RealGM followed by the Bucks who showed their horns this past postseason(at least for me), but the city, fans, teammates and ownership have kissed this guy's ass tirelessly and if he leaves that's a huge slap in the face. He's also been a low-key diva and his uncle needs to be removed from his inner circle. Dude ain't doing him any good( I know they won a championship, they could've won it in SA, too imo, uncle Dennis is bringing that drama tho and he seems to enjoy feeling special off of his nephew's stardom)..

Kawhi going Clippers would be awesome for the East teams. Honestly even if he stays in Toronto the parity in the league is best it has been for a long, long time.

Just hope he isn’t a Laker and the league is ****.

I'm not familiar with all Canadian superstitions but it's bad luck to leave your team on Canada day right?

Kyrie's homies already cleaning up the comments section on IG. My comment of "You're an absolute weirdo who watches too many YouTube videos" has already been deleted. Lol
