Rondo back to the Lakers.

Well that’s something that certainly happened.

[Deleted]

Green: 51.3% | 99th percentile
Cook: 49.6% | 90th percentile
Daniels: 47.9% | 84th percentile
Dudley: 37.8% | 65th percentile

Glad we are addressing what we did not last year...time to shoot all the lights out.

Kuzma
JaVale
Cook

It’s not the Kawhi superteam, but it’s a helluva rebound.

That's a starting lineup that would stomp the mudhole of any team in the NBA if this was 2013

f*** the Clippers.

That being said George has gotta be fuming that he chose OKC instead of the Lakers.

Lol no. George didn’t want to play with LeBron and the Lakers. He may not have gotten along with Westbrook this year but we wouldn’t have known about this if Kawhi didn’t tell him to force the trade to the Clippers

Funny how you didn't see one article about Westbrook and PG's discontent but there were 7,438 articles about a mostly-fabricated beef between James Harden and Chris Paul.

Cut the shit. No one knew about the PG/Westbrook shit until last night but their team was able to keep that secret and despite it they worked together on the guard

Meanwhile, this is not the first time we heard this between Paul and Harden. As much as they want to try to play it off, everything is not good with the Rockets otherwise CP3 wouldn’t have been going so hard to say nah this ain’t it. Harden has smartly kept his mouth shut

Marcus Morris laughed at someone on Twitter that suggested he goes to the Lakers. So TBD where he ends up.

How much did his brother get? Trying to figure out who has the space to sign him.

His brother got like $16 million for 2 years and he's better than his brother

I thought Morris could have gotten a decent contract, like $45 million over 3 years but it seems he either waited too long or didn't get a contract he liked 

Dallas still has money and they were in on him and Green. He could always return to Boston too which is a great fit. Otherwise I don't know where to put him

Green is the one who will see the most minutes

Dudley when he plays does get minutes

They addressed it but they still really only have one consistent person with minutes who is a shooter on the team in Green. Pope and the rest of the them will have to fight for mins depending on who can hit 3's

Cousins got $3.5 million from the Lakers

They are using the cap or part of the mid level to sign him

I also doubt George is losing much sleep over not playing under Luke Walton or Frank Vogel (again).

[mo]

Not surprised that a guy like Kawhi wouldn’t want to play for the train wreck the Lakers are now and the Lebron circus that comes with it. This shit came out of nowhere though. The West is exciting as hell this season. I think The Bucks got the East.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Westbrook and his agent are talking to OKC about his future and possible trade options in the future

His contract is f***ing insane so OKC is going to have to haggle with teams while also trying to get some worth. Idk if Westbrook has a NTC but if he does it makes it worse

In regards to teams that could try to make this trade work. Maybe the Knicks is one if they decide to make that move. Probably will take something like Smith Jr, Knox, 2 picks and majority of those 2 year contracts with team options to get it done because OKC could dump them all in the offseason

Denver is a playoff team I could see throwing their hat in their. Porter Jr, Harris or Murray and the expiring deal of Milsap plus picks could possibly get it done

New Orleans is a team I wouldn't rule out either

Spurs just nabbed him for 2yr/$20m. Second year is a player option.

[Rican]

Spurs are sending Davis Bertans to the Wizards

Spurs are changing the Carrol deal to 3 years, 21 million

And lastly, Spurs are signing Marcus Morris to a two year, 20 million deal. RC and Pop been busy!

That's a damn good move by the Spurs

Man, Lakers fans being so salty on Twitter saying Kawhi is a loser for playing for the Clippers

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Raps next year will be the first team since the Mavs a few years back to not really have a chance at defending their title

Raptors not from lack of trying. Mavs stupidly let their championship squad got to chase after Dwight Howard and others who wouldn't be available until the next offseason

Wolves and Rockets have a ton of possible assets as well to maybe get Russ

I think the dark horse would be the Magic in the whole league. A lot of talent but no big star player.

Saw some people say "Trade Ben Simmons for Russ" too, lol

What assets do the Rockets or Wolves have?

Both teams have bad contracts on their books in Wiggins and Paul and OKC will not be interested in role players who have deals that last 2 years

If Ben was a 2nd year player i'd think that be an option but Philly has given up a lot of their assets and picks over the years so that really isn't on the board

OKC isn't going to be interested in taking back any big contracts. They are going to want a player or two with at least some type of star potential and at least 3 draft picks
