He’s gonna get Durant hate if he signs with the Lakers.


I doubt the media will give him hate. You know why? Because of that cry baby name

LeBron's a freak. Plus you could take LeBron out of the equation and Leonard and Davis are more than enough to win multiple titles.


Leonard will do the dirty work by defending. Lebron James has played so many minutes it’s amazing that the guy hasn’t slowed down which is puzzling. This big 3 will go on to win the next two nba finals and a possible 3rd.


Kawhi and Davis alone is competitive enough to win next 5. Throw in Lebron for next 2 years and Its a wrap

I hope it’s a fake source. This dude is gonna go to the lakers if it’s raptors and lakers. I bet you the media won’t get on him like they did with Durant because of that big baby.

I rather he go west and open it up for the east contenders. Just like you saw with GSW anything can happen once you get to the finals! Go west Kawhi and see you in the finals!!!


Decent logic, btw. Chemistry issues and injuries do happen.

Lebron is old and AD is guaranteed to miss the 2nd half of at least 15 games this season. We should all want Kawhi to leave this conference!

lol people overrate the Lakers, even if Kawhi went there. Lebron/AD <<KD and Steph. Kawhi is very good but the depth would be awful

Except for former GSW fans who are now transitioning back to being Laker fans

IMO. the league is going downhill fast if this continues to happen....Sick of "Diva worship"....Hate free agency....

Greed personified...its everything these days.... nothing else matters It would seem?

No values other than the almighty dollar....and that has all changed to become that way in my lifetime...

Haven’t we been tortured enough for two years?


Hope Rich takes care of that, also hope that if Rich tries to call Danny, Danny answers to see who's on the other side, then proceeds to block his number.

No **** lol. The warriors big 3 accomplish a lot. Leonard and lebroni on the same team? Get some bums off the street and they likely win 57-60 games next season.

I can’t believe I’m rooting for the Raptors to re-sign Kawhi.

F*ck Lebron.

He might still be in play. I prefer Theis tho(or maybe both and call it an offseason)..

Kevin Durant has changed it so that only people he is friends with can leave comments on IG. Hahaha I guess there are too many people trolling his weak ass

Sorry, I've out running around today and am behind. Where did the $11.3M come from?

Magic. Unused cap space: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1864905

Seems like a loophole. Dunno if it's legal.

Did someone @Zarren on twitter yet??

Not true, LBJ doesn't bring nearly enough on defense to win that many games. He's keeping his flashy stat line on offense so the media can kiss his ass, but I think that he's declined a bit the last 2-3 years. We will find out eventually. Not really bothered with LAL stuff, honestly, it is fun discussing NBA topics tho, so I'm fine with it, again not bothering myself with the Lakers either way.

I'm saying they aren't who i'd bet money on, gun to my head. Depth is incredibly important, especially for injury prone star players
