You're not wrong Jimmi.

Off topic: is there a reason why you keep writing Durant's name with two r's? I've been wanting to ask you that for a year now I think.

Funny to see the dynasty implode like this. Barely a month ago the Warriors were the gold standard of team chemistry, impeccable front office management, great coaching on all levels, and overall tight-knit organization. Now, everyone is throwing molotov cocktails inside the house. The Iggy situation proves that owners/managers will always protect their own interest even if it derails players.


The coaching is still good. The front office hasn’t been great ever since jerry west went to the clippers. The clippers, on the other hand, have been good. They made the playoffs while having two max slots open and a bunch of promising young players in the mix.

and they got rid of Tobias Harris in the middle of the year and were written off after that trade. Harris is an above average player who put up monster counting stats the last 2 years that usually results in some team giving him a max contract. Getting rid of him was brilliant and ballsy.

Similarly, the Raptors getting out from under the Derozan contract was a stroke of brilliance whether or not Kawhi re-signs.

Kawhi needed 7 months to recover and build up for playing again after the 2017 playoffs. It'll be interesting to see how many months he'll need to recover from the 2019 playoff run. It'll be a good test of upper management's patience if he starts the year off requiring a few weeks or months of rest.

If Leonard waits until after the 6th I think the Lakers can not continue to offer the same amount of cash they are offering right now. So if Leonard continues to delay the decision he is probably not going to the Lakers.

I think that is basically the players argument. That drafting them takes away all their choice on where they want to play and therefor they can get choice at the 8 year mark. Perhaps furthering the luxury tax would help.

But I think the best thing would be to do away with the max. There is no reason that the 50th best player and best player should make the same money. In their primes LBJ and Durrant should have been making 50+ million a year, all the sudden you can't put AD/LBJ and Kawhi on the same team because they are all worth double the max.


its a good idea to say no max salary, but u know who would reject that idea the quickest? the NBAPA.

the chain of events hinging upon Kawhi's decision is pretty hilarious.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/27128448/lakers-delay-ad-trade-kawhi

and then the AD/Pelicans/Lakers transaction resulted in a bunch of other moves by other teams. Some guy on reddit listed them all.

If any of these teams and players gets cold feet or perhaps learned something that changed their minds this is a great excuse to renege on a deal. LOL.

Howard has Memphis now to terrorize. At lease WAS did something good, I hope they dispose of Wall too...?

Kawhi needs to sign with the Lakers by tomorrow, or else deal is off because of AD/NO situation,

JimmiC does this a lot, and I pmed him about it as well. Some misspelling are so funny I think JC does it intentionally as a running joke to smoke out spelling nazis here lol.

Kawhi + PG13 to LA confirmed!!! BOOM!!!

Question: Would there be a downside to just trading away all of your draft picks and just working through free agency/trades?
