Rondo doesn't deserve to start.

AT ALL.

With this line up, he needs to run the point off the bench.

Masai Ujiri is back from Africa and did a pretty detailed presser. It doesn't feel or sound to me like a sell-off of their assets is coming any time soon. If Lowry is on the block then Masai is playing some great poker.

" on to the next. .. there is no time to go out and cry ... i've lost no sleep... not disappointed and its on to what is next.. i'm telling Raptor fans not to lose 1 second of sleep. we are going to be just fine... i think our team is set up well".

In this clip when Ujiri says .. " i think he was ... Kawhi was". He is answering if he felt communications were honest and up front during the Leonard FA negotiations. Ujiri is throwing someone in Kawhi's negotiating team under the bus. His name probably starts with the letter "D" .

They can't possibly blow it all up with all those good young pieces. Maybe he should look for some trades to get more people on Siakam's time line. That is, they don't have to win now but build for the long run.

I think Kawhi is a strange dude. I don't understand the psychology of a guy forcing his way out of San Antonio who has nurtured him, turned him into a star and a franchise player, then winning in a spectacular fashion with a new team that played good, fun basketball in an organization where everyone seems to enjoy themselves. Just to leave it all behind. He is not a normal dude emotionally, that guy.

I think he (and his entourage/family) wants to come back to LA above all else. His move doesn't seem to be about basketball at all. His getting Paul George to the Clippers was only to give himself an alternative to the Lakers, I don't think the Raptors were ever in the running.

There is a big difference between the culture in Southern California and Toronto, Canada. California also produces a massive # of baseball players. Even when the Toronto BLue Jays were teh best run organization in Major League Baseball almost every California kid couldn't wait to GTFO. You know who stuck around? Guys from places like New York and Michigan.

Kawhi ain't the only California beach bum that doesn't like Toronto. The people from the southern US are really easy to spot in January man.. You can see it in their eyes... they all look like fish out of water.

2 years was always a real possibility, not that he's not confident of it working out in LA, but for him to earn more money after he hits 10 years of service. he would've signed 4 year if he wanted to bet against himself.

Westbrook and Harden are #1 and #2 all time for USG% in a season and Turnovers in a season. This should be interesting to see how this plays out but I don't think this will work well for the Rockets honestly.

The Thunder traded one toxic contract that will not age well for another toxic contract that will not age well and picked up 2 protected first round picks in the process. If you're a kid that's going to be drafted in the 20s in the next few years, I hope you like Oklahoma City.

I don't understand Houston's plan. At least CP3 can shoot (even though I have always kind of thought he sucked).

I dont get it. Obviously GMs havent caught up to the cLutzy rules of point guard contracts (aka never pay them) because Kemba got $$, Kyrie got paid, DLo got paid. But now, all the sudden these contracts are toxic and need to be moved? Obviously I agree, but why have some orgs come around to my position? Will Boston be giving away first round picks to off Kemba in 12 months (probably IMO)?

Paying for counting stats on a PG is a bad move. Curry's deal and Lowry's deal is/was well worth it because of all the stuff they do for their team mates that never shows up in their own personal stats.

Its hilarious looking back at all those "Lowry + Bench" lineups with phenomenal net ratings. Then to see how so many of Lowry's team mates turned into zilch as soon as they left. Makes Masai look like a fucking genius.

You meant "sucked" as in "right now he sucks" or that CP3 always sucked?

I mean that, whatever tier most people had CP3 in during his career, I always ranked him 1.5 to 2.5 tiers below that.

I am a CP3 anti-Stan. Always have been.
