This is a good point and particularly troubling. Only Daniels has committed to them? So many good players being signed for the min and they aren’t getting any of them.

Iggy and JR Smith are locks if Kawhi chooses LAL. Markieff as well as he's looking for vet minimum deal in right situation.

Good luck to the Jazz. Green's inconsistencies will get on their nerves sooner or later.


No doubt. But right now we are the beggars who can`t be choosers. If he`s NBA talent we will take him, warts and all.


Just letting you know what you will be in for.

That could be a troubling sign. Although it's still early yet.

Kawhi is definitely only choosing Lakers, Clippers or Raptors, right?

It's not out the ordinary for player reps to meet with other teams without the player.

Can some random team step in via sign and trade here though or is it pretty much a guarantee he goes to LA or Toronto.

So far, he has only Toronto and Southern California teams on his interview/talk list. For a fourth team to emerge, he would need to add them to the selection process.

Can you be more specific?

If you're just talking about shooting, it's no big thing. Crowder actually played the starter minutes at PF last year and it wasn't out of the ordinary for him to have the most 3 point attempts in a game. Nothing more frustrating than Crowder shoot 10 threes while Ingles only put up 3 or 4.

No way in hell Snyder allows Green to do what Jae was doing last year. I expect him to play a role that limits his shooting.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

local Dallas media (Townsend, Fisher) saying Mavs optimistic on Danny Green and also Marcus Morris fwiw.

edit: Townsend now saying Dallas has a few guys they'd prefer over Morris.

Supposedly Celtics are out on him, too much of a potential chemistry issue.

Clippers did a great job signing Rodney McGruder. He is a good player and always gives 100%.

Nice get. Would have liked Utah to try him.


I really like this signing. Vonleh is 23 and improved last season. Gives the Wolves good depth in the front court.

If Kawhi intends to go to the Clipper or stay in Toronto, he did a good job weakening one of his biggest threats to the throne in the Lakers by committing after free agency is weakened.
