There is only one ball out there during a game. It should be LeBron's ball then, rather have him as point-forward than Russ as a point guard and him running an isolation-heavy style of play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I really don't like the Lakers but if LeBron goes to the west guess it's a Boston vs. LA finals and I'm OK with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 So I worked the math out, and if the cap goes up say, another $12 million, the Lakers could sign LeBron and George, trade for Leonard, and still be millions under the salary cap. That’s scary to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, but I don't know if they'll have much of a bench left over if they pull it off. I also think the Celtics and Raptors have pieces to make pitches as well. As a starting point I'd ask for the 8th pick, future 1st round pick, Kevin Love and a bench player like Rodney Hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love and Aldridge play the same position so I doubt the Spurs would want Love. I’d go with something like Hill, Hood and the Nets pick. That should get it done.

Kawhi was arguably the 2nd best player in the league in the 16-17 season. It's gonna cost much much more than what you suggested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Spurs don't want Love it'll be tough for the Cavs to make a deal for Leonard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Hood enjoyed his time in Cleveland so I think he'd agree to a sign and trade. I agree though it will take a lot for them to trade Kawhi. I was reading Luka Doncic is falling in the draft. If he's available at 8 that will really help the Cavs out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible he falls out of top 4. Suns are rumored to take Ayton. Kings will take Doncic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to edit my post because I saw a report that the Mavs really want him so even if he drops to 5 it won't be any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 So now Kawhi is telling any team that trades for him that he's signing in LA in 2019. I don't see any other team trading for just 1 year of Kawhi. Gutty but he'll end up in LA for sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I would take Kawhi over the entire Spurs roster including Pop. I have a lot of respect for Pop but the NBA is a superstar driven league. Kawhi would easily be the best player in franchise history of many of the teams in this league. Losing him could be the death knell for the Spurs as they slide into complete irrelevance. If they aren't already groveling at his feet then they should be. Offer him the supermax, as well as the bonus incentive of telling Tony Parker to clear out his locker.

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 How high will ex Kentucky Wildcat, and Canadian PG, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander be drafted?

I'm ALL in on Trae Young. He's too good a shooter to fail in the league. Decent passer as well. Curry lite! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
