Team did everything right, they won the bloody championship - and still couldn't keep their own free agent. You can't like their chances to get any free agents stars any time soon.

Poor souls will talk about their only championship 70 years from now. "the day we got a star who left as soon as he possibly could".


The only one I don’t feel sorry for is Masai Ujiri. The guy lied straight to DeRozan’s face and then gets called the best GM in the league for a rather lucky championship. Under normal circumstances, they would’ve lost and his gamble could have backfired.


That’s the job. You don’t think Pat told Eddie Jones you are going to be the face of this team. We are going to win a championship, the he gets traded and we win our first ring. GM lie, that’s the job. I don’t see anything wrong with what Masai did. How many players that choked in the playoffs did we get rid off, Mashburn, Eddie Jones are the first to pop in my mind.


Except Ujiri told DeRozan shortly before the actual trade he wouldn't be moved, so the short time span between their conversation and the deal is the issue here, not that he once told him he was the face of the franchise. I'm confident that by the time Ujiri talked to DeRozan, he was already negotiating with the Spurs. At that point, you should be somewhat upfront about your intentions.

Looks a lot more comfortable than what my highschool coach put me in. He had a mechanical device for my arm that look like Forrest Gump knee braces. And you had to practice in it and only shoot with one hand. Imagine running down court with your arm stuck in a shooting motion.

Leonard also reached out to Kevin Durant and Jimmy Butler before eventually convincing Paul George to request a trade from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Los Angeles Clippers.

One executive said Learond "found his voice" during this process.

lol

i gotta give it to shai boy for the effort. that must have been harder for him than playing half ded GS in the finals to make a lot of awkward phone calls.

he would have been called all kinds of names and you destroyed the league and this and that had he joined the Lakers.
GG shai boy. you did it.
