It might be harsh especially regarding such a legend but it also increases the likelihood of getting Diallo so I'm all aboard.

Diallo has no incentive to sign up for a Christian Wood role with the Bucks. He’ll land somewhere he has a better shot to play more minutes from the jump.

Wood got 100k guaranteed. I'd guarantee Diallo his 2 years (if it were necessary). Also I kinda doubt it. Vonleh got a 1 year minimum deal. And I don't think Diallo has that kind of reputation.

I’m talking role he’d have with the Bucks, not contract structure. His agent would be wise to direct him elsewhere.

True but not sure how many offers he even gets.

Although he's a Southern CA native, perhaps nature may dissuade Kawhi from returning to LA...

I'm sick of the diva drama. Hope he goes back to Toronto and we take them out.

I really hope for the sake of the league Kawhi goes to the Clips or to Toronto.

Silver needs to get off his ass.

Yeah I'd rather not have to root for the rest of the league against another superteam for the next few years.

Speaking of diva drama, I see Richard Jefferson calling San Antonio a dump and Milwaukee a dump with bad weather is trending on twitter. I don't even live in Milwaukee, but for some reason, whenever a player has something negative to say about the city, it irks me. The egos these guys have is astounding, and the older I get, the more I could care less about babying these "Men" to stay with my team. If they don't like it, then piss off.

RoLo scared him off. (And took his roster spot. :thumbsup:

)

ETA: By the way, if some of you RoLo detractors want to talk about a center who is “washed”, Pau is that definition.

I've said it before but the Toronto board's "Kawhi watch" is the saddest s*** I've ever seen.

Haha. Nah, the Bucks were always gonna help him rehab and send him home to Spain.

Pau was always underrated, and a little bit on the whiney side. I can’t help but wonder how his career would be perceived if he had stayed with one team, and avoided those annoying Kobe years where most fans wanted to punch him. Just a thought exercise, if he had more of a Dirk career (same team year after year, winning a title as the main guy, a little more charisma) would we think of him in the same revered ways? Much different styles, but similar level of talent IMO.

What exactly do you think Silver can do?

To be fair Wisconsin fans did the same thing with Favre and would do the same thing with Giannis.

Doesn't it have to end by tomorrow for the Lakers to finalize moves one way or another?

I mean it's sad, but we'd be doing the same thing if it were Giannis.

That being said, it's ****ing wild! There is absolutely no truth to anything, theories are being thrown around at every little bit of news, calculating # of passengers based on speed of plane, arguing over if he's picking up his family (that live 30 min outside of LA) in SD, if he just is going home. There's a screenshot of an image for a TOR press conference at 2:45PM EST, but the Raptors can't comment on it until tomorrow, it's just chaos haha

Apparently the Raps board has a credible poster, says its good news. I don't believe a god damn soul haha
