Around The NBA - Round 2 - New Thread!!!

So Kawhi is going to leave the Clips because PG is a playoff choker and come to the Knicks because Randle's playoff premier was such a stellar clutch performance? Have I got this right? Are people still thinking that this is a thing that can happen?

I have to wonder if all the positive energy and culture change that was established through the season may have been tarnished with the atrocious display in the playoffs so any stars considering the Knicks by the end of the regular season may have second thoughts now.

We have the flexibility and assets to make the team much better than presently constructed and the clippers don’t. Randle has a year left on his contract and even if we max extend him it won’t be anything like paying Pandemic P 50 million in 2025 which is what the clippers will be doing, Randle would be making half that. And he’s better than pandemic P

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching Capela get absolutely dominated by Embiid. Not so easy when you're not going against an old man or a guy who couldn't catch a basketball if our world depended on it. I hope Embiid hits him for 50 next game.

it's more likely that we get PG13 than Kawhi.

[Fury]

But he did this.

lmao at the other dudes played in the 50s and 60s

Most definitely... He's leaving the Clippers to play with a guy who shot 29% in the first round against the Hawks...

Huh?

It’s more likely we get Patrick Beverly than either.

wonder no more. that's what's gonna happen

Totally agree. All the good will the Knicks built up during the season has evaporated already. Tragic.

He makes a lot of money for a Rim Runner.

Knicks better be careful with Mitch.

Well, okay, but let’s not forget that Embiid is a league MVP talent either. When Wilt scored 40-50 points on Bill Russell, that didn’t make Russ trash. Just adding a little context.

Carry on.

Clint Capela and Mitchell Robsinson's situations aren't the same.

Clint was paid that amount because he had leverage over the Rockets because of how well he played alongside James Harden.

that's not the upgrade at the the starting pg position i'd prefer but it's probably what we deserve.

It's embarrassing how Embiid manhandles him. Capela's literally avoiding contact.

they really told me on here that pg was better than melo back in the day. the unmitigated gall.

Exactly. People don't think this man is comfortable and content with his career in winning multiple rings with multiple teams while living his best life in San Diego. He'll get Paul George traded before HE leaves San Diego.

Curious to see where Kemba ends up.

Teams that could use him (that have assets to trade back):

Chicago (compete now, not wait for future to develop)
Kemba / LaVine / Williams / Thies / Vuc

Miami (Dragic is on team option)
Kemba / Robinson / Butler / Ariza / Bam

N.O. (assuming they move on from Lonzo)
Kemba / Bledsoe / Ingram / Zion / Adams

Nuggets (compliment to Murray)
Kemba / Murray / Gordon / MPJ / Jokic

Dallas (Luka side kick )
Luka / Walker / Hardaway Jr / KP / Boban

Clippers (obvious reason)
Kemba / PG / Kawhi / Morris / Zubac

OKC (the way SGA and CP3 played together)
Kemba / SGA / Dort / Bazely / Horford

"paul george likes playoff p taunts" no he doesn't. as if. lol

Think you meant to quote me but yeah, agreed

Anytime he opens his mouth it makes things worse for him. He should just stay quiet and let his game talk

[Rasho Brezec]

Since we're slandering Paul George, let me just remind everyone that he's marrying a below average Serbian stripper who he knocked up and tried to bribe into having an abortion.

I heard her stage name is Darko Milfisuć. Is this true?
