Toronto has multiple people that can create their shot as well as one of few teams that defend both the 3 and the paint and always lay hard. Not sure about bucks when like 2 people can kinda? crate their shot and only defend the paint

Yup. Would be pretty similar to what the Pels want through with AD

Not fair. Orlando has home court advantage.

I love the neutral site. Sort of annoyed me how the home crowd and refs could put too much favor on the home team.

....if Giannis goes down and out in first round...."Hello...Steph...ummmm"

Whoa hold the f up. AD might be available this summer with the way this game is going. A bit more realistic?

Warriors have zero cap room. No chance at AD.

The same way we get Giannis can be the same way we get AD

You know....the odds of either the Lakers or Bucks going out the first round is pretty dang good.

I'd settle for AD

If AD wants out...and if he says he wants the Warriors...Lakers make a deal to make that happen in a sign and trade. That way they likely get a high first and a good player. Same with Bucks.

AD .... did not look good tonight (yes all the FT's got him to 28 pts) but he was afraid to take a wide open face up 15 foot shot...bricked a ton of threes. He looks tight...and I think that's the LeBron "games" effect.

Actually Portland is a better team on paper as well as likely on the floor right now. Better closers....similar line up of bigs....

Go Portland!

Warriors can’t sign and trade. Way over the apron.

Not at all. Davis is a free agent and the Warriors can’t sign and trade.

He has a Player option same price as Wiggins. If he really wants to come here he will have to accept if for a trade from us

After all the trouble Davis went to getting to LA, does anyone seriously think he's going to demand to leave after one season? Because they don't win a ring? Not a chance.

Only if it turns out he can't stand playing for LeBron.

Lebron has been buddy buddy with AD all this time. Probably a big push until AD signs that big extension.

He's making sure AD gets his, often deferring to him for large parts of the game, feeding him.

Off court, he invites AD to dinners together, get to be part of the cool kids group along with that agent.

AD doesn't have much of an independent will so I don't expect him to change.

AD should use his leverage this off season to kick any of LeBrons boys off the team and solidify himself as the present and future of the franchise. Make them beg. Make LeBron commit to being the facilitator and staying out of the front office.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won multiple championships playing in Milwaukee and still left at the 1st opportunity..I have no idea why you all think Giannis Antetokounmpo would stay if he wins a title..Silliness

wco81 · Post #160 » by **wco81** » Wed Aug 19, 2020 7:41 pm

Kareem left because only the Lakers could pay him more money. That's what happened to Wilt, when he left the Warriors.

No kind of salary cap so the larger markets were more dominant.

With salary caps and TV revenues sharing, even small market clubs can pay out a super max contract.

That's the difference.

But the salaries are so high that the super max hasn't prevented superstars from leaving their original clubs which could offer them the most money.

Because some like Lebron and KD have much bigger sources of income from Nike and other sponsors.
