🏀 2019-2020 NBA Thread: Lakers Win 17th NBA Title

[Convoy]

Heat really want Beal, but I don't think they have the assets to get him. Earliest first rounder they can trade after today is 2025 (or a pick swap for 2024).

Warriors are retiring Durant’s number.

lol what

I'm a Yankees fan, the team (in)famous for retiring numbers on a superfluous basis, and even I think this is silly.

At this point, I'd actually rather hold out and see what the Warriors want for D'Angelo Russel.

Man, the Lakers have done nothing except sign one person to a veteran minimum. Is that all they are offering to people while they wait on Kawhi?

Even if he only played 3 years he was a 2 time finals MVP and no gurantee you win those 2 titles without him. Despite just a 3 season stay his jersey being retired by the franchise is more then warranted.

Heavy rumors and sports betting are leaning Leonard to LaLa Land.

Fxxx.

Everything.

Sixers are signing Kyle O'Quinn, who I've always liked going back to his days on the Knicks. Not a bad big to have off the bench.

He's somebody that I wish the Knicks held on to. Love his effort and personality.

Obviously, he doesn't fit with the Knicks now, so I wasn't expecting a return or anything. And while I very much don't want the Sixers to win, I am happy that a good team will be utilizing him. He deserves it.

MY GAWD DAMN PATIENCE IS WEARING RIGHT OUT waiting on gawd damn Kawhis anwser I have read everything from...it is a done deal to he informed the clippers he is not signing with them.

Just announce it already so Lakersnation can hit up club shay shay with Uncle Shannon ole TriGoat.

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Kevon Looney has signed with the Warriors

Isaiah Thomas has signed with the Wizards

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Woj says that Kawhi's decision could go late in the week as he has no reason to be hasty with this.

Of all the people f***ed in Free Agency I think Boogie is most of all. Feels like there isn't anyone that wants him so he'll have to slink back to Golden State.

Good pickup so Scott isn't the primary PF too. We still need shooting help and a backup PG. Still some names out there. Could just scoop Ennis back up, but a PG is sorely needed. McConnell is a huge team guy but he's fit less and less on the team the more it has changed and it just might be time to move on. 

But who do you move on to? Emmanuel Mudiay would be my pick. Otherwise the pickins are a bit slim. Jeremy Lin, Delon Wright, and Tyus Jones might not really be much of an upgrade in the grand scheme, but Mudiay would on paper be, we'll see.

Maybe he's the consolation if Kawhi doesn't go to the Lakers

Boogie doesn’t fit on the Warriors

Pretty much yeah. As said before it’s feast or famine with Kawhi and they let a lot of quality players pass them by waiting for him

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Woj says there’s really no market for Cousins and he may not exceed the $5 million he made last year. Lakers is his best shot to exceed that money but it will be below $10 mill and only if they lose out on Kawhi

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

When Iggy gets a buyout he will go to the Lakers

[grungesmurf]

So if Kawhi ends up on the Lakers will the media cry and moan about them being over powered, and the NBA being ruined like they did with the Warriors over and over again?
Or will they act like nothing is wrong because of Labron? I know Uncle Shannon won’t.
