Let's hold off on the Presti praise, PP. Let's not forget that, despite drafting three MVPs back to back, they never won a championship and haven't been out of the first round since KD left because of his other moves.

I like Masai and do think Toronto will be a 50 win team next year unless he breaks them up right now. But they’ve now got a ceiling, 50 wins and a 2nd round ceiling.


They’ll be fine next year I think. But other than Siakim, that team is aging and aging quickly. Masai is going to have to completely reinvent that roster if he wants to remain competitive in the next 5 years.

I wonder where Kawhi is going." THEN I saw that Kawhi made his decision. Honestly one of the most bizarre experiences in my life in terms of hearing about NBA news.

I LOVE that Kawhi went to neither the Raptors nor the Lakers. Also that the Clippers' awesome job of building that team up over the past year is paying off.
And that wasn't even the half of the BA's day. Zion Williamson got hurt in his very first summer league game then an earthquake knocked out the entire Summer League for a day.

Oh that's good PP.

For the best. Out of curiosity I checked out his posting history and I am pretty sure he would have gone political at some point anyway. Fun while it lasted!
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

You average less than one post per day, yet here you are spamming another team's board.

You're in shambles.


He’s the new Sneaky Pete!


Differences are Agimat has better grammer and spelling but Sneaky Pete was actually right.

Any Raptors fan saying they don’t care that Kawhi left is like a Clippers fan saying they don’t care that they just acquired Kawhi. Complete lunacy

It's gone now, but dude quoted me something about Cancun? And if I had even the slightest idea what he was talking about I might have tried to muster a response. But honestly no **** clue.

Sneaky Pete is a solid comp. I don't think he knew who Sneaky Pete is/was, I think he just went with it.

I think PG is going to absolutely thrive. I always thought his playmaking was pretty under utilized

As if that Raptors' title didn't already have an asterisk next to it (massively depleted Warriors team), the Finals MVP blows out of town the first chance he gets. Too good.

Trust me, they are rubbing that championship in everyone's faces on the general board. They are desperate knowing they became an afterthought just a couple of weeks later.

PG and Kawhi seem like they could get along well, too. Obviously both have an affinity for LA (even if PG ultimately chose OKC last offseason), but both also seem pretty understated.

Beverly/George/Kawhi on defense is just lunacy.

Too bad Middleton isn't a good friend of Kawhi's.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Clippers at Raptors opening night, just for the lulz. Commish needs to make this happen right now.

LA writers last night were mocking the Raptors. Noting they won’t even get a Christmas Day game next season. 8-)

On July 7th, 2018 OKC’s mayor declared that day Paul George day.

Oh, the ironing!

If the Raptors blow it up Lowry would look good in Milwaukee.
