Jimmy is poor man Kawhi at his best. Not bad player but not worthy of max deal.

Of course he's not. But who is left for the Raptors if Kawhi leaves? Everyone has made their moves, and Kawhi is taking it slow.

In fact, as we speak, the Heat already snapped up this dude. DeRozan is looking pretty good right about now

Am i the only one who questions durant teaming up with Kyrie? Those two have a very weird personalities and seem to be offended or unhappy pretty fast so i m not sure this will work out. Yes on paper they are great but if kyrie has a similar year this year as he had with boston last year then shit s not gonna work out cause the team will turn against him. And he ll most likely have to carry them on his own next year. Like out of all the superstars these two imho are the most fragile comb not in terms of playing style or quality but in terms of mentality.

On kawhi i think torontos chances of retaining him are pretty good. Imho it s the clippers or the raptors for him he s not gonna join LA as that would be a freaking weak move and he might need to leave some money on the table if he goes there. And i just dont see him joining a team that is not ready to compete straight away and i dont think the knick or the magic are there even if they add the best player in the league.

Also it s a bit sad to see GSW trade Iggy he s been a great and very loyal player who imho had a huge part in this current warriors dynasty.
Signing d angelo russell is interesting though even though i think he s a bit to expensive and it s gonna be interesting to see him and curry on the field at the same time even if defending with both of them on the floor is gonna be hard.

There are 0 basketball reasons why Kawhi would go to LA over Toronto. Toronto with him are clear favourites, now that Jimmy Butler/JJ Reddick left the 76ers, and KD/Klay injuries. At the Clippers, if everything goes well, at best he will replicate his Toronto success. That's a giant if. Can the Clippers give him 20 games off during the regular season like Toronto did? At the Lakers, he has to sacrifice his game to fit AD and LeBron together. They ALL do. The second KD/Klay both went out, Steph broke a playoff record in points. These dudes have to sacrifice so much to play with other top players.

The only reason he'd go to LA is simply the city itself or the Lakers brand. Even money wise, Toronto could give him more money.

The fact that he is from LA would make him pick one of the two. His best option is staying in Toronto though.

Fapuccino · Jul 2, 2019

It's kinda crazy how much power Kawhi holds right now. The entire balance of the NBA depends on his decision. If he stays with the Raps, the league is wide open for the first time in years. If he goes to LAL, they become a super-team and take the mantle from the Warriors.

Not necessarily. Injuries can hamper that especially him and Lebron have had injuries these last 2 years and with a thin roaster he will have to play a lot more mins than he is managing now at Toronto. You are correct though, on Paper he goes there its a wrap for the next couple of years.

People thought the KD to Warriors stuff was bad. This will make the LAL the most hated team by far. At least the Warriors had built a foundation for KD to hop on. LAL is just strolling without putting in the work.

I would have resigned Cousins and kept Iggy. Maybe look to trade for a shooter but Russell may help Curry with Point Guard duties and make him more fresh when the 4th quarter comes in but defensively this team is in shambles with no KD, KT injured, Iggy leaving and potentially Cousins not coming back.

Iguodola is finished, getting rid of him was the right thing to do. I'm reading a lot of reports that GSW are going to try flipping D'Angelo in exchange for a wing which would make a lot of sense.

I kind of agree that iggy aint the same as a few years back but neither is livingston. My point was more that iggy was an integral part to the warriors dynasty and i would have liked to see him retire there.

Anyways apparently warriors got cauley stein from sacramento and Glenn robinson. Imho two very good signings especially cauley stein who signed a 1 year deal worth only 2 mio thats a great fucking deal. Ohh and they also got looney to sign a extension. which again i think was a solid move but it leaves them with basically no space to sign anyone else.
I m not sure about D angelo i d like to see what him and curry can do o the offense and curry not having to carry the ball upfield imho would help his game but as i said before i d be worried about the defensive side of their game.

Edit: On cousins it really looks like the injury he picked up in the playoffs scared off all potential suitors. If woj is to be believed he s not even getting offers on the level of what he got from the warriors, i guess he s ruing the day he decided to refuse the pelicans offer. And with cauley stein coming in and looney staying i dont see room for him at GSW.
There for rumors are surfacing that he might join the lakers if they miss out on kawhii as Cousins and davis are still friends.

K.I. · Jul 3, 2019

Cousins is 1 year away from a max contract, he could do a 1 year deal, play a good season and a team would take him in the summer. Players are always trashed for taking money over a potential title and in his case he made the correct decision but with some work in the offseason, if he drops a few pounds he should be good going forward.

Fapuccino · Jul 6, 2019

Kawhi with the dumbest move this offseason in the NBA. Jfc, this will backfire massively. You realize you and PG literally play the exact same way and the same position? You know how team sports work right?

You'd think players would learn from the Harden/Paul fiasco. Kobe/Shaq worked because Kobe/Shaq didn't step on each other's toes. Shaq played in the paint, and Kobe out of it. MJ/Pippen worked because Pippen took off the defensive load from MJ's shoulders. How will Kawhi/PG function? The Raptors were a perfect fit for him, since it was a straight swap for DeRozan, and STILL the Raptors had a better win % without him during the regular season, because the chemistry wasn't 100% there.

Alex de Large · Jul 6, 2019

Both PG and Leonard are very versatile, they both can play SG and PF. It's like Wade-Lebron at Miami.

You know Wade and Lebron had very different skill sets. PG/Leonard play the exact same way. Primarily defensive 3s who can also score.

Not sure what you mean, Harden/CP works just fine the coaching is the problem. Kawhi/PG are both unselfish players. Plus PG accepted the fact that he's no batman a while ago.

Clippers front office tho

I hope our mercato team is working shit out behind the scenes just as hard.

K.I. · Jul 6, 2019

This deal made sense because PG wanted to go back to LA a while back. The Clippers got raided for that trade tough, they gave up too much in my opinion but they had to since they wanted KL to come to them. This also shows that he wanted his own team which is kinda interesting to see. He choose the less popular franchise and passed up playing with Lebron & AD.

rfU · Jul 6, 2019

No one wants to play with LeBron.

Harden/CP were in constant conflict over Harden ball hogging.

Alex de Large · Jul 6, 2019

After Leonard, Cousins was the best FA available and he signed with Lakers.

Rondo - Green - LeBron - Davis - Cousins
Cook, Caldwell-Pope, Kuzma & McGee for rotation.
Kuzma super 6th man.
Would be better with a PG who can shoot 3's, but it's a very decent team. Battle in the West between Clipps, Lakers and GSW can be epic.
